I ’ m a recreational angler and outdoor enthusiast from Thunder Bay , Ontario , Canada .
I previously suffered from major anxiety and depression where it got to the point of taking a medical leave of absence from my job , to not leaving my bedroom to eat , I was unable to face anybody . I had many trips to the Dr , Emergency room , and counselor ’ s office ... they kept trying different medications and counselor tips but nothing worked . I was raised by my grandmother since birth due to my mother ’ s not so great choices in life , as she suffered with many addictions .
Growing up with my grandparents gave me many great opportunities . They always had me outdoors and just about every weekend we would be fishing at one lake , river or another .
Although my grandparents worked on giving me the best life possible . There were still some bumps along the way with many tragic losses and other major family problems . Which later in life caused me to suffer with severe anxiety , depression , and traumatic flashbacks .
