And that can derail you from time to time and put you on a downward spiral by making things seem worse than they are. It sucks that you have to deal with that, but keeping it under control can keep your brain from sabotaging your good efforts.
Thanks for the well-wishes. Keep at it because you know you can do it.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
