What an amazing and inspiring story @longforlife! The part you said "I was going to bed and didn't know if I was gonna die"... daaamn I can't even imagine how this must feel, especially in your teen years. You're a real warrior, so much respect!
Stoked to have such awesome people like you in Skatehive!
@knowhow92 thank you! yes it was definitely a terrible mental place to be in. I'm forever grateful that longboarding took me out of that mental confinement and allowed me to live life.
