Normally, I’m full of words, my speech rapid but somehow soothing, my mind always racing. But this time, I’m… speechless.
At 26, I finally have clarity. I’ve been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, and PTSD. For the first time, I’m not searching endlessly for answers, I feel a sense of inner peace. I can access the support I need and navigate this ever-changing world while still doing the music and creative things I love.
Yes, I’m angry,angry that I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar for 14 years. But I’m also ready to be open about my journey, because sharing it helps me heal. And if you’re healing from something similar, that’s amazing. Welcome aboard, Starlighter.
We’re turning my Instagram into a community page where we can connect, support each other, and grow together. Follow along: @jedmondpresents.
If you want to support my journey, you can check out my crowdfunding page (WEJE) or grab something from my merch store, every bit helps me keep creating and building this community.
I’m going to be okay. There’s work ahead but I’m ready. We all got work ahead in our lives no?
