Bio
Hey all, I'm Spade. Apparently I know what I'm doing!
**I will be restructuring my profile and limiting my time on the site from now on, I am sorry to all my regulars but this is both for my psychological good as well as a time issue with my new job, I will try to be here and be as supportive as always but I cannot promise anything at this point as my schedule is likely to change frequently**
A bit about myself. I have experienced a ton of life at only 23 and hopefully I'll be around to experience a ton more. It was suggested that I be diagnosed with Depression at the age of 5 by a few therapists. Some of them provided great information and others were less than helpful. I have never been medicated for this condition but have received medication and therapy for ADHD all my life. I've gone from being a top performing athlete to going through a rough drug addiction and back to being just a plain relatively normal guy who likes to draw. I've never really fit in but that's alright cause I like who I am. I've spiraled, I've fallen but I've also overcome a lot. I love to draw, listen to music, write and be a fool. All my area's of expertise have either personal connections or personal experiences so when I say I can relate, odds are I can. My methods here are fairly unconventional compared to other listeners but people tell me it works for them so I'm going to keep doing it my way if that's alright with you. I take each case very seriously and try to give you all my full attention so please excuse if my response takes a bit longer. I guess I like somewhat angry music a lot such as various forms of metal, grunge/ punk and heavy rock, Kind of explains my picture and always a good conversation starter especially when you realize I'm actually a really friendly.
