The Story of Benjamin Fry: From Breakdown to Recovery

I have been on a long road to recovery from childhood trauma. This culminated in a nervous breakdown at the age of 40, after which I sought help. I remember my 11-year-old daughter saying to me towards the end of the breakdown that I was just a ghost who lived in the same building as her. My wife was beginning to give up, too. Many times my fear, dread, pain, guilt, depression, anxiety, grief and terror had been so visceral, so overwhelming, that I had to live one minute at a time, ten seconds at a time, sometimes one second at a time. If I could survive that, I might recover. There were dozens of times when if someone had put a loaded gun in my hand I would have immediately blown my brains out. My life was saved in treatment in Arizona. A psychotherapist friend had been bugging me for some months to go to a psychiatric hospital in America, where, she promised, they would pull me through the trauma. I had reached the end and had nothing left to lose, except my life.
