Are you, or were you at one time, damaged goods?

Baggage aside, I'm talking about something that left long-term psychological damage.

What happened?

What have you done, or had to do, to recover?

Was 'recovery' ever even possible?

Oh yeah! I had an event in my life which completely wiped my mental hard drive. The event was so traumatic that it took about five years to completely recover. It cost me a job, a career, a house, a marriage...and two weeks in a private rehab center to shake off depression.

Recover I did, however, and life is a hundred times better now. Praise God!

@Theseus WOW! Can't imagine what that must have been like for you. It...sounds like, despite all of the hardships you've suffered, that your path through rehab was greatly beneficial to you, and I wish you the best in the times ahead.
