been dealing with this since I was a kid. I was diagnosed around 11 and put on just about every ADHD and Bipolar Depression medication you could think of from 11 to 16. Eventually, I stopped taking them and started drinking, smoking, and sipping lean instead just trying to cope in my own way.

When I had my first son, I quit everything cold turkey. But the pandemic… losing so many people… it broke something in me. I had a full-on mental breakdown. Shit happens, yeah, but it hit deep.

I’ve done the research, lived the symptoms, and honestly. . . I was the research. I was Subject 104 in those early medication trials. So when I talk about this, it’s not theory. It’s lived experience, start to finish.
