>>1960I'm just as worried that I failed to be such an effective funambulist in a similar balance between those myself.
You're a far more considerate person than most of the spergs and closet-spergs I've ever spoken to on /cow/.
Savvy maybe does deserve you, but perhaps in a slightly different way to the one either you or she thinks. I think you two would be most propituous in balancing each other. From Savvy, being provided an escape from your previous neuroses, and from yourself, showing a guiding light heading towards a path that's a little less astray from righteousness.
I have a lot more to contend with on my plate than any of this chan-drama anyway, these days. The progess of improvement in my health remains questionable. The wildest fluctuations in my day-to-day functioning seem to occur with increasing variability, and it's beginning to drain me in a greater way than our parting of ways ever did.
Having read the symptoms and being careful to rule anything mitigating out, it's beginning to sound a lot like multiple sclerosis.
Have a quick look here:

In particular, brain fog, co-ordination difficulties (I once tripped over and fell inexplicably, that is, without fiction or the aid of another object, several weeks ago, when having walked just a few yards from the bus stop), peripheral neuropathy (I'm 50/50 over whether this is diabetes or MS; no matter what I do for the former, it doesn't improve), and memory lapses are all increasing concerns. I never had near the problems with verbal articuation that I now do, as recently as 2014 yet.
Also, the local NHS foundation is really beginning to collapse around here. I can't get a doctor's appointment at my local surgery, there's 4 locums to 1 senior as a result of recent retirements. I doubt that I could even get it officially diagnosed. One look at my previous medical history, and the locums would dismiss me as a hypochondriac (they have a tendency to ignore the physiological concerns of the mentally ill – that stigma has subsided with younger doctors is rubbish, they grew up knowing nothing but the inherently pathological quasi-science of behavioural censure that is psychiatry); the senior doctor isn't as bad, he respects my inuition on these things, but to get an appointment with him is near impossible, as he's almost always fully booked.
There aren't any real treatments, even if I do get referred to a specialist. The only promises seem to lie in alternative health. As poor as I am, I do like to spend what little disposable income I have on any new herbs or micronutrients that I've researched.
That wasn't to elicit further guilt, just for the record. If you'd ever felt the desire to seek vengeance and retribution at any point, no matter how slight, maybe this will serve to your recompense: I'm beginning to suffer from the consequences of my karmic debt.
"Autphag" won't be much more as you knew him.
