You are dead on. I am still paying for the mistakes I made in my twenties. Some of those mistakes will follow me forever. I wasn't diagnosed until my twenties and didn't want to accept my diagnosis at that time. I refused medication and participated in a lot of harmful illegal behavior and eventually turned to using illegal drugs and that was a hard long road. I did a lot of things I regret and hurt a lot of people. Some of my many mistakes are now on my record forever. So now years later I am doing better, have children, and trying to make a life for me and my kids and am having an extremely hard time because of past mistakes. I wish others understood the extent one choice can make on the rest of your life. I pray most will not make those life altering mistakes that I made. I wish once one made mistakes all others learned from it so as not to be repeated, if only.
