About My Challenge
I've suffered a lot with mental health issues, largely stemming from being ADHD and not knowing until my mid-thirties. I was the gifted kid that hit a wall in their teens and fell apart in their twenties. I've had trouble with self-harm, addiction, and risk-taking behavior, all of which have got me into trouble with the law.I only feel comfortable bringing this all up because of initiatives like this that are slowly breaking the stigma around mental health issues. I don't want people going through the same hell I went through, because I wasn't always able to speak up, and there often wasn't a professional available when I did. I'm keen to promote this cause and encourage more funding into it.
