Oh boy, I think we're going on 28 years now. I was diagnosed with class one bipolar. So I went through suicide attempts, went through a lot of just crazy emotions, crazy feelings, but I was a professional race car driver. You can't say that you're crazy when you're doing a crazy sport, if that makes any sense.

So it took me quite a few years, brother, like probably 15 years before I kind of just grasped the concept of this is what I'm living with. This is what God has blessed me with. And so I ended up forming the National Mental Health Alliance. I mean, that's ultimately how I got into it is being a patient, being someone that experiences what mental illness is like.

My family struggles with it, my daughters, my sons. So it's personal to me.

The irony behind everything is I think that's mostly how people get into the certain trades that they're in. They'll come up with a trauma or a family experience and they're so passionate about that experience. That's the course correction and that's where they end up going in life.

So I was probably nine is my earliest recollection. But where I felt that I was different is I was highly sensitive. My emotions, I still to this day, and you'll probably see that as we discuss further on, but I wear my emotions very, very, very close on my shoulders. I don't hold any of it back. At nine, I was an emotional sensitive kid. Kind of went through that process.

And so I kind of started pulling away from there. And then when I turned 13, that was my very first manic episode. And I remember it very vividly, actually. When that happened, not only did my friends see me different, but my family saw me different because I was different.
