ACE score of 7. I kept my head down at home with abusive parents and did everything I could to leave that environment as soon as possible. Got admitted into a state school for the gifted where you lived on campus.

I've been diagnosed with bipolar and depression, but I've had what most people would probably consider a successful career, but every day been a struggle. I've always struggled with depression and feeling abandoned by my family. Pretty much have a life by myself with very few people involved. I don't talk with my family.

Decades of therapy and medication, and it honestly really doesn't help.
