“When I was 14 I had a… really bad episode. My firstish one? Or like, my first one as a “youth.” 

Phys’s got me on medications for generalized anxiety and a bit for depression now-apparently it was a panic attack coupled with a reality break- but I didn’t hear those terms til I met some buddies with similar stuff. 

Which is funny because… after the attack my uh… my dad sent me to an institution. I was there for a year, but they only threw words like schizophrenia and hysteria at us, mostly. I made some friends there though, so…silver lining.”
