* '''Depression, Stress & Secondhand Trauma:''' After the events of the lunar colony, Bryce suffered from an inordinate amount of guilt, pain and trauma. When he returned home, the invisible wounds were apparent and while he sought medical attention (in the form of therapy, etc.), his existing relationships suffered. For a time, he fell into a black void that consisted of some reckless behavior and a string of one-night stands and took some time off work before slowly reintegrating after his providers were confident that he was fit for duty. While still finding himself after those events, he is actively seeking purpose in his work and finding ways to build healthy, strong friendships and working relationships. He believes in strong support systems and the power of community.

''Note: Due to the timing of treatment and his overall commitment and progress, a waiver was granted, with the understanding that counseling sessions are required routinely.''

Gregarious, vibrant and witty, Elyia is currently Bryce's compass and lifeline. She's an accomplished psychiatrist and social psychologist. While Bryce broods, Elyia brings it out in the open and gets over it. She helped to pull him out of the dark abyss that was their teenage years and the Calesian Lunar Colony disaster (and probably others, but we haven't gone there quite yet).

It was during his quest to become a doctor that an event forever changed Bryce’s course. A bit jaded with Starfleet (because of his father and seeing how it all sort of ripped through families), the young El-Aurian was committed and content with his civilian medical studies. However, when a Lunar colony in the outskirts of the quadrant suffered a great calamity that resulted in thousands of injuries and casualties in the hundreds, Starfleet called upon civilian medical volunteers to assist. It was called the Calesian Lunar Colony disaster. Bryce was one of these volunteers and it was during this time something resonated within him, deeply affecting him.

He had seen so much death and despair, and developed a connection to the individuals he was helping. When the civilian efforts were no longer needed after things had reached a less heightened phase, Bryce was shooed away by Starfleet. It left him feeling like he lost a little of himself, and suffered from PTSD and depression after the events.

When the civilian efforts were no longer needed after things had reached a less heightened phase, Bryce was shooed away by Starfleet. It left him feeling like he lost a little of himself, and suffered from secondary trauma and depression after the events.  


Bryce floated between people after that, against the professional medical advice he was given. He took time off practicing medicine to focus on himself; to heal, immersing in nature and finding himself sliding still.
