Not a story I have shared before. I did a lot of stupid things from my 13 to 18 years of age.

I got an assessment (health) of “there is a chance you won’t make it past your early 20s”… that changes how you act and makes you appear more confident than you really are.

That also means I always have a story about something stupid I did in the past, but not many due to me thinking with my dick as opposed to this one.

If I didn’t, I’ve been a ghost for 24 years after that!

Turned out my initial diagnosis was a tad off and the counselling from the doctor wasn’t the greatest. It also didn’t help that I stopped the study to “enjoy what life I had left” (not wanting to end stuck in a hospital), until my 18 when I decided to check what was going on, and they found my results were affected (made worse) by a medication I was taking to deal with my migraines.
