Despite my Mental disabilities I have driven forward to a some what normal life.

Hey steem o/

So I thought I might introduce myself here as I love the idea of a fully social crypto currency and would love to be more integrated with it.

My names Trent and I live in Western Australia.

I was diagnosed with High functioning Autism at the age of 13 and unofficially diagnosed with Bipolar at 19.
Due to being incorrectly medicated my entire life not only is my memory poor but it can be dangerous for me to not take my medication.

Before you ask, I am unofficially diagnosed with bipolar because my doctor says I have all the traits of someone with bipolar but its far to dangerous to run tests as he would have to strip me of my medication to get more info.

Thankfully my life has mostly gone up as I left school and I now have a part time job.

I turn 21 in September and am looking forward to the future.

I first found about crypto currencies randomly after seeing a chat conversation about Dogecoin and the things the project had done for charities around the world.

I've always thought how good it would be to have a charity Coin dedicated to helping people deal with depression and anxiety, something that I and many others deal with.

Personally however I feel like my depression and anxiety is simply part of my disabilities but that doesn't stop me from wanting to help others either talk it out or take our minds of it all.

Enough about me though. If you've read all this thank you.

I hope to talk to you all again soon <3

The stigma of mental illness is for many sufferers almost as bad as the disease itself.
