Posting/talking about it this way so many years later is not a constructive use of your time though. Be positive instead, lest you relapse.
Absolutely not. Acknowledging that it was fucking awful is the only place from which actual progress can be made. Posting about it is a perfectly valid way to do that and provides an entry point into that conversation, provided people don't shut it down with toxic positivity.

I will simply neglect the absence of what I have lost for fear that I will lose more if I acknowledge it.
