And to my knowledge all smooth sailing.
My statement reflects both the stigma I displayed, which is a big irony, and the extent to which I let extreme anxiety take over last year.
Better now, and I apologize if I offended.

Thank you for giving an apology that was unasked for! That actually means a lot to me, that you would do that. I wasn't offended (had actually skimmed through the part of your message actually, not sure how I managed that one) but I really appreciate that you would do that so quickly.
