This is the kind of shared experience that first drew me to Steemit back in July. This has all the tell-tale features of a secret writer post that @stellabelle would do.
Really well done man, thank you for sharing that part of your experience with us, and I'm glad you pulled through your dark period with the help of coding and (hopefully) steemit too!
Definitely following you, be well.
yeah, this was an epic tale!
