Great blog, keep writing. Love the concept of Kintsugi. Do explore Ayurveda, you will find subtle answers, especially living in synch with constitution (Vitta-Pitta-Kapha). Highly recommend the book “Prakriti - Your Ayurvedic Constitution by Robert Svobodha”.
Have you ever considered a simple biological explanation - like a messed-up biome? We are first and foremost animals. Our biome has more cells than our body. The vagus neural system is the size of the spinal cord - 80% of the signals go from our bowels UP to the brain. It may just be that "something" disturbed one's biome, with catastrophic effects.
Toxoplasmosis being the poster case: the parasite turns adventurous the mind of the mouse. The mouse is easily eaten by the cat as the result - where the parasite reproduces.
We always chose the complicated psychological hypothesis - rather than simply experimenting with a different diet by trial and error.
This being said, the pain is real, and no less so because it may be trivial rather than complex.
Great that you have come out of it with clear-cut golden scars. "Crooked Timber" does not accept gold easily.

As a person, I'm a tumbleweed. As an administrative being, I'm living at the moment in Switzerland. My "place of origin" overlooks the Rütli, and the view from the flat, the Alps.
Lovely! You echo my journey so closely! The reason I was such a workaholic and grade chaser in College was my desperate attempt to work myself into a stupor to avoid having to deal with the pounding heartbeat, flight or fight generalized anxiety I've had since I was 18! SSRIs really did save my life- I don't know how much longer I would have been able to sustain the intense anxiety attacks without doing something regrettably drastic...On the other hand, though, I think it has been the making of me- because I understand how awful mental illness can feel, I have become so much more non-judgmental, empathetic, easy-going with most people...
