He discusses moments in his life where this condition profoundly impacted him, including experiences at the MTC and during a difficult period in 2012-2013. Alan recounts his struggles with feelings of unworthiness and relentless anxiety, which led to significant weight loss and emotional trauma.

Alan emphasizes the role faith played in his recovery, detailing how the teachings of Jesus Christ and the support from his religious community helped him through his darkest moments.
