Allow me to commend yiur candour, for it is no small feat to unburden one’s soul in so public a manner. Though your afflictions be grievous and your sufferings not to be dismissed lightly, know that you are not alone in your travail. Many a gentleman has borne his own secret torments in silence, yet there is honour in seeking solace and reformation.

May I entreat you to seek the counsel of men skilled in the art of medicine and the mind, for oftentimes the maladies of the flesh and spirit may yet be soothed by compassionate guidance and diligent care. Yiur worth is not lessened by thy infirmities, nor are you condemned to despair.

Remain steadfast, for even the most tempestuous seas may be weathered by a soul resolved to reach calmer shores.
