Summary
Functioning at an estimated 20-30% with brain fog and activity-triggered crashes, this poster credits about a month of intensive journaling and emotional-processing work (targeting suppressed anger), guided by a self-help book, for a full recovery. Back pain, stomach cramps and anxiousness resolved within 10 days, and she reports being "free of all traces of fatigue" within a month, with no relapse over 6+ months of follow-up. She initially "didn't have any hope" it would work and frames ongoing emotional awareness as necessary to prevent relapse.
