      I didn’t comprehend until this answer that the OP asked for chapter titles that might go into an autobiography novel, not just descriptions of eras. Beautiful work.

    I would probably split it pretty broadly. Pre parents divorce was a great time. Once my parents divorced and changing schools at the worst time really aet me behind socially and I never really found who to be and was generally an unhappy person. Once I went to community college, I learned what I loved and found my intrinsic motivation from within. Post college has been nothing but a success as I continue to be myself, found an awesome wife, bought a house, started a family, and continue an upward trajectory.

    Chapter 1: early childhood pre parents divorce (0-9) Chapter 2: childhood to teenage years (10-18) Chapter 3: college, finding myself, and becoming an individual (18-22) Chapter 4: job success, family success, and true happiness (23-32) Chapter 5: starting a family (33+)

    I’ve heard an interesting idea that life is broken into 12 year agreements segments. It’s not a bad idea.

    I read before that you live your life through your 20s and 30s like you usually do and then you’ll get a life changing diagnosis.

    So with that in mind I’d say pre diagnosis and post.
