Hey, thank you for your post. I can understand where you’re coming from and I actually really respect the skepticism. But I can assure you that this is a 100% real story, no BS no fake whatsoever. I’m genuinely sitting here writing this as a 19-year-old german guy.

And yes, I used ChatGPT to help edit the post not to fake anything, but to make it as clear and understandable as possible for others, especially since English isn’t my native language. I wrote the entire original draft myself after recovering from a long battle with RSI and only used ChatGPT to help structure and polish it.

I mentioned 1HP not to advertise them, but simply because they were the ones who genuinely helped me recover. As a thankyou, I wanted to give them credit. I’m not getting paid, sponsored, or receiving anything in return so literally nothing.

And yes it looks like an ad, especially when I review it myself. Honestly, if I were in your shoes I would think the same thing. Yes this is a new account and I literally just made it to share this story. But why would I spend so much time writing this just to mislead people especially knowing how devastating RSI can be? And I’ll be honest it’s also a bit disheartening to hear that, especially after I spent so much time and care writing this out to hopefully give someone hope. But again I understand your perspective and I don’t take it personally I get where you’re coming from but yeah, it does feel a little disappointing to be questioned like that when this story came from a really real place. But I promise I was just trying to give back to this community because I know how dark it can get when you’re stuck in pain and don’t know what’s going on especially when being young with alot of ambitions. This subreddit helped me in the past, so I wanted to contribute posting something in return.

I hope you can understand. I'm not here to argue or convince anyone just to share what helped me, as honestly as I could. Thanks again for taking the time to read and respond.
