Growing up, I wasn't exposed to the ideal childhood. I was surrounded by physical violence and emotional abuse within my own family dynamic. I was pushed to accede intellectually and physically in school and sports. I was pushed to a point where I began to struggle to bounce back.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, related to what I had experienced as a child. Last year I was also diagnosed with depression. And these two mental illnesses are contradictory of each other. Having these two illnesses is like wanting to achieve honors academically
