Fox- maybe it doesn't need to be about "why couldn't I get through life with it as long as everybody else" (paraphrase) but instead it could be about how you are ahead of the curve, starting your healing process sooner and earlier in life?
Thanks for sharing how you mentioned your voices casually while younger. When I was a child, I thought what I experienced was what other children meant by having imaginary friends. Then it somehow became unacceptable to have them any more. Which was very confusing.
