Hey everyone, my name's Collin!
Here's a quick summary of who I am: I'm a male from Canada, I love reading, the outdoors, electronic and heavy metal music, etc.. Man, this is sounding like a dating website profile haha
To be honest, I'd love to write my story and why I'm here, except it's too long to type it all here.. I'd have to write a book. I will however explain a part of the reason that contributed to PTSD, although it's not the sole cause. It's seriously a very long story.
I've always been a hypochondriac and had severe anxiety issues my whole life. Despite that, my life as a kid was honestly incredibly amazing, I wouldn't trade it for anything.. Until I turned 16.
I developed severe OCD for years that totally destroyed my life, and made me do really bad and weird stuff (not to anyone else but myself..). To be honest, I'm surprised I hadn't killed myself because I was so depressed because of not being able to do anything or feel ''normal'' without feeling like I'm going to die or something. My thoughts and movements were absolutely consumed by repetition, from the moment I got up, to the moment I went to sleep. Needless to say, I went a little ''insane'' for a few years. I was placed at a mental hospital for a year and a half specifically for OCD.
A lot happened during these years more then just OCD that really made me see life in a different way, although even though I'm struggling everyday with weird PTSD symptoms, I feel like I have a second chance at life.
Anyways, to anyone who read this all the way through, thank you and I wish you the best. Looking forward to meeting you guys!
