Failed school, failed exams felt miserable at the time and always thought i was a failure. Got abused (physically,psychologically) by one parent when growing up. I succeeded later but struggled a lot, still do. When i untangled the whole spaghetti i first got a diagnosis of ADHD, then giftedness (which probably helped somehow) but also Autism and Bipolar disorder 2.

This to me was such a relief. I was able to get support, treatment and stop blaming myself for being a failure. It’s a daily fight though. There are comorbidities, anxiety, etc.

Now I am a happy father and my daughter will never get the generational trauma that was passed on to me and my siblings
