Abraham concluded, “Regardless of your trauma — whether it’s physical or mental, people see it or not — I wanted to take the time to say that I’m grateful to my family for helping me this year after one of my traumas I have the hardest years left.”

And I have [Attention Deficit Disorder] So, you know, I’m usually the funny one and people make fun of me, so it’s easy, you know? I’m happy with it.”

Abraham said therapy through comedy is “everything” and she’s looking forward to performing on stage, which will allow her to overcome her “fear of people.”
