I don't have any suggestions, what do you think you need in order to move past this?

Like you said, I think I too just need to accept I said and did were things done when I was ill. And also, I just need to have faith that this professor doesn't hold these things against me. And the fact that he's continued his correspondence with me is proof he's willing to look past that incident, that he still values the professional relationship I have with him...I guess it will just take time for me to naturally believe in these things.
Thinking about all of this is making me so miserable and teary-eyed but I've gone a whole year letting this eat me up inside, it's about time to confront things. So thank you for asking me that question, it was genuinely helpful!
