Sometimes I feel like I've given it my all and I just can't go any farther. Maybe it is time to quit therapy and accept that I am flawed and must learn to function with my limitations anyway. I work so hard to get better, and it never seems to be enough.

Awww, I'm sorry....it is frustrating, tired some, and discouraging when one gets their hopes up and works hard to only get so far, but like you said, you've learned much and made progress which is really a great thing. It's no reason to give up now....you can do this...you've been doing this.
The damage done to us has been severe and runs deep...and it's not our fault, we didn't cause this...I hate to say we've been scarred for life, but we have been. Yes, it's no fair that we have to deal with this...but it's our lot in life to do so
.......and it sounds like your winning, too. Just coming to grips with this and facing it daily takes bravery and a will.....kudos to you.
I don't know if it goes away, but it has to get better the more you work on it. Maybe taking a break? Hopefully others can say it does to you. Hang in there hun.
