**She has the benefit now of a) more time to think about it, compared to the first time the crisis started to hit, when she had seconds to consider whilst being increasingly unstable, b) fifteen years more wisdom and maturity, and c) a different perspective, with a family of people she loves and who support her, rather than having just lost her father, feeling purposeless and undefined as Donna, not helped by the poor relationship she endured with Sylvia the first time around. Giving up being "The Doctor-Donna" now is just surrendering a part of her identity to preserve all that; fifteen years ago it would have seemed like giving up everything that mattered. | **She has the benefit now of a) more time to think about it, compared to the first time the crisis started to hit, when she had seconds to consider whilst being increasingly unstable, b) fifteen years more wisdom and maturity, and c) a different perspective, with a family of people she loves and who support her, rather than having just lost her father, feeling purposeless and undefined as Donna, not helped by the poor relationship she endured with Sylvia the first time around.

***While that does make sense, Donna also mentions that she wanted to travel with the Doctor "forever" so if the only way to do that without getting her mind wiped is to "let it go", don't you think she would have done it? | ***While that does make sense, Donna also mentions that she wanted to travel with the Doctor "forever" so if the only way to do that without getting her mind wiped is to "let it go", don't you think she would have done it? | ||
****The 14th Doctor explicitly states that Donna had a child (Rose) so the metacrisis passed down, splitting it up into both Donna and Rose - much like passing on genetics and so forth. The Doctor further states that this passing it down also slows down the metacrisis, hence why Donna and Rose are perfectly fine after the metacrisis is restored. Therefore, there is less of the metacrisis in her to dispel, hence it is easier to do now than it was before when it was literally burning her up. | |||
*How exactly does Donna's metacrisis work? You'd think Donna would only have the Doctor's mind up until the point when she originally gained it during the metacrisis (the mind of the Tenth Doctor and preceding incarnations), but she seems to know his future or at least that he was a woman, something that hadn't happened to the Doctor by the time she gained his mind. Does this mean that Donna gained new incarnations mind's as part of the metacrisis every once and awhile? Or that she gained new parts of his mind once the Doctor reawakened the metacrisis in her? Or something else entirely? Does this also imply that other metacrisis beings that happen to have the Doctor's mind (like the Metacrisis Tenth Doctor) also subconsciously gain memories of the happenings of the regular Doctor? | *How exactly does Donna's metacrisis work?

**This would somewhat be explained in the next special, Wild Blue Yander, as Donna is indeed confirmed to have access to all the Doctor's memories even ones he hadn't experienced when she took on his mind, however, she's unable to access most of them. | **This would somewhat be explained in the next special, Wild Blue Yander, as Donna is indeed confirmed to have access to all the Doctor's memories even ones he hadn't experienced when she took on his mind, however, she's unable to access most of them. | ||
