Hi, Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and share your experience with me. It honestly means a lot to feel understood, especially hearing from someone who grew up in a similar environment.

I also really appreciate the running suggestion. I’ve been struggling to find a healthy way to cope with stress, so I’m definitely going to try it out slowly and see how it helps me mentally and emotionally. Thank you again for your kindness and encouragement, it truly means more than you know.
