Racer, there is no magically number in the case of trauma for "Time" to "be over it". It takes what it takes. And I think for you to try and will yourself to get over it is causing you more harm. You must have some sort of PTSD from that place. Maybe not a n actual dx but it seems like it haunts you it set you back. I know that we are suppose to talk to ourselves in a postive manner. I have chosen to look at it different manner. I have decided to go inside my head and examine every thing there, façe it and no longer be afraid of it. I am owning it. It is a slow process. I decided therapy is governed by each individual and we are allowed to get better in our own way and time frame. So allow yourself terms you need both in time, space, framework and language. We can't rush a masterpiece, and you Racer are a masterpiece in the making.
We all want to feel better, each day you are getting closer. Even if it is harder to measure, you are working toward that goal. Hang in there.
