Intro- Why do I need to write this?

Since the events of 2015, I've been told that I need to move on  from and let go of everything in order to get better.

People make two mistakes in that statement:

1) They assume that what happened to me is no big deal. They talk about it as if it was just playground banter that went too far. It's not.

2) They assume that moving on is a means rather than an end. Moving on is a step forward in a journey of getting better. No, you go on a journey to move on.

I really want to get better, I do. I'm tired of the constant cycle between psychedelic happiness and the hollowness of self-loathing and helplessness. 

In order to move on, I started seeing a counsellor, and she has suggested that I write the truth. Or, at least, my version of the truth. 

Hence, my purple letters.
