Oh my God ... YOU are real. Oh my God ... You ARE real. OH MY GOD ... You are REAL! Oh my God ... You're really real!

I went through a lot of abuse and a lot of really difficult things growing up - depression, anxiety, attempted suicide.

Getting into my teen years, I was filled with so much shame and pain that I got really involved with drugs and alcohol. I was hanging out with the wrong people and getting involved in the wrong relationships and everything just sort of spun out of control.

When you get knocked down you get knocked down in Round 1 of life, there's Round 2.

At 3, I played an innocent game of doctor, minus the stethoscope and medicine bag.

I know some people need counseling but not everyone can afford it.

Oh my God ... YOU are real. Oh my God ... You ARE real. OH MY GOD ... You are REAL! Oh my God ... You're really real!
