My Story…
I have struggled with mental health since I was a kid. I have a genetic condition called ectrodactyly which essentially means the growth of my fingers and toes were stunted/interrupted. So my hands and feet don’t look like everybody else’s. I was bullied/made fun of has a kid and as long as adults. People stare, make comments and cross boundaries that should just not be happening. On top of all that I knew I was gay and very young age. I didnt necessarily grow up in a time/place that was overly accepting of this and I didn’t want any more life issues than I currently had. So I just shoved it all down and ignored it.
I didn’t realize until I recently started going to therapy regularly how much all of that truly hurt me and still can affect me to this day. I have a solid and regular support system that I can wholeheartedly and gratefully say that I would not be here today without. Mental health matters. every. single. day.
