We love to chat and offer advice or resources however we can. Mental health is one of our favorite topics because we know how all of us have struggled over the past few years, and some still are. You don't have to keep struggling alone when there's so much out there for you. Let us help point you in the right direction.
One of the things we mentioned to you that you must look into is the book "The Iron Prince" by Luke Chmilenko. One of the most amazing books we've read since Ready Player One. Here's a quick synopsis of the story, but it is amazingly well written and if you get it on Audible, Luke Daniels does the reading as one of the top voices today:
"He doesn't know it yet, of course. Reidon was born weak, sickly and small. Afflicted with a painful disease and abandoned by his parents because of it, he has had to fight tooth and nail for every minor advantage life has allowed him."
"His perseverance has not gone unnoticed, however, and when the most powerful artificial intelligence in human history takes an interest in him, things began to change quickly. Granted a CAD—a Combat Assistance Device—with awful specs but an infinite potential for growth, Reidon finds himself at the bottom of his class at the Galens Institute, one of the top military academies in the Collective. Along with his best friend, Viviana Arada, Reidon will have to start his long climb through the school rankings, and on to the combat tournament circuits that have become humanity's greatest source of excitement and entertainment."
