I can't be 100% sure since as a child one can deny, hide, or just misunderstand what's going on. I do believe I likely had symptoms before age 14, but I can say with certainty that I had them at 14 and on. My first severe episode was at age 16. That year my school even forced my parents to send me to a child psychologist. I was also transferred to a private school because of what was going on with me. During that period, I also "sought God" despite never being religious (nor were my parents), to the point of joining the Roman Catholic church. I was hyperreligious.

If you could walk outside right now and see anything you'd like, what would it be?
