Life often feels like navigating through a relentless storm. For those of us who come from broken families, the storm seems to rage with an even greater fury. My name is Jason, and I have been battling depression and psychosis, shadowed by a negative self-perception that has been my constant companion since childhood.
Growing up without the traditional family structure, I found myself grappling with an overwhelming sense of abandonment. This feeling planted the seeds of self-doubt and low self-esteem that would grow alongside me, impacting every facet of my life.
The world often sees us as mere statistics — children from broken homes destined to struggle. But our reality is more than a statistic; it's a daily fight against the demons of our past and the stigma that society places on us. My journey has been marked by moments of intense loneliness and misunderstanding, where my mind became both my sanctuary and my prison.
Depression for me was not just sadness; it was an abyss that seemed to consume all light and hope. It was a constant battle to find a reason to get up each day, to find a sliver of motivation in a world that seemed so bleak. The psychosis added another layer to this struggle, distorting my reality and making it difficult to separate what was real from what wasn't.

Yet, amidst this turmoil, I found a spark of resilience. My love for technology, my guitar, and my affectionate cat Tomas became my anchors. They provided moments of escape and peace, reminding me that there is beauty and purpose in life, even when it's hard to see.
I realized that my experiences, as harrowing as they were, also gave me a unique perspective and a deep sense of empathy for others facing similar challenges. This blog is a testament to that journey — a space where I share my experiences with mental health, my passion for technology, and the small joys that keep me going.
