How Did All This Affect Your Life?

I was afraid of injuring myself because I had this sort of mental view of myself as being this kind of fragile person who, you know, was broken and weak and prone to injury. So I would rely on other people sometimes to do those sorts of things that I felt like I shouldn't be doing because they were bad for me. It actually sounds like throughout this whole process, you did have a somewhat accepting perspective. At what point did you start to believe maybe this doesn't have to be around all the time for me? Maybe things could be different.
