I am like the most laid-back dude ever, naturally. Very calm. Very friendly. Very shy. So when I began exploding with uncontrollable anger as a teenager, I was very afraid because I didn't know what was happening. Coming out of a delusion at 15, I began to realize something wasn't quite right. I had a mental breakdown at 19 and had been on and off depressed since I was about 14 or 15. But it wasn't until I was about 23 that I really began to suspect what actually might be the problem. It was then that I came to accept the possibility, but didn't want to jump to conclusions. It wasn't until a few years later that I got diagnosed and entered treatment.
p.s. Keegan, I love the quote in your signature!
