"I didn't feel different. I was just here like I've always been." 

This was, in a word, difficult. It's impossible not to go through this without thinking at one point or another how bad something sounds, and quite often, for conflicting reasons. It does an incredible job of sharing a problem, but not forcing it, even if it's on a topic that is far too real to call 'well constructed'. The objective stance taken on several things, despite how easy it would be to turn any one of them into some kind of mouthpiece for an agenda, is beyond admirable. 

And the ability not to blame others, even more so. 

Sharing your experience like this will undoubtedly bring a slew of people lying about their own just to relate to it better or for attention, but plenty of others with real trauma just like this will also see it. Sifting through the false and real accounts or not, something like this might just save a life, be it from death or just trauma, and that's an incredible thing. It likely doesn't make what you went through any easier, but at least you know that in one way or another, you're helping people. 

Truly, incredible work.

Thank you for your kind words. I honestly thought that no one would play this game. While making it, I thought that no one wants to hear depressing stuff but I kept going because I wanted to overcome my shame.

Keeping a secret until you die is a horrible way to live. Thank you for taking the time to play this to the end and seeing value in this.

There's often value in silence, but even more so in breaking it. It just depends on who you break it to. I don't doubt that most people try to avoid depressing things like this, but those that don't have a lot to glean from it, both good and bad. It's very real, and very powerful to those willing to give it the time it deserves. 

I'm so glad you don't have to live with that secret any longer, and even if it is just through an online medium, I'm happy that you were able to share it with far more people than you could have expected. I wish you all the best going forward, and I hope that your struggles, efforts to share them, and future endeavors are met with success.
