Thanks for the replies. But as much as I want to believe it is a permanent solution to a temporary pain, I have found nothing out there that says this is temporary. I see it now as a permanent solution to a long life of unfilled promise, pain, and regret. There is no recovery. You see people on here who go years without progress, and they didn't start when they were 12 years old. My life was over before it even started. Sucks, because I had so much promise as a kid.
It's gone now, and there is no evidence that significant recovery occurs.
