DetailsAbout Scott
I’m a 35-year-old Asian American guy living with Stargardt’s Disease, a rare, currently incurable eye condition that has limited my life in many ways. I grew up mostly in Georgia, and have lived in Colorado and now Indiana. Earlier in life I dealt with crippling social anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and suicidal thoughts. I’ve been in recovery from those for over a decade. I've also maintained peace, joy, and gratitude, despite my eye condition, through different ways. I like being able to listen, share what’s helped me, and offer hope so people don’t have to go through hard stuff alone. We are stronger together as people, and we are more powerful than we give ourselves credit for.
My Recovery Story
I used to deal with a lot of low self-esteem, self hatred, depression, crippling social anxiety, and thoughts of self-harm. I now live with more peace of mind, a kinder self image, and have a good amount of deep friendships with people from all walks of life. I am no longer afraid. I trust myself, my abilities, and my values. I have more comfort in who I am, and it’s a lot easier to communicate with others, even strangers, groups, and people I’m interested in. I want my recovery and life transformations to help give hope that it’s possible for others to find relief too.
My Motivation To Help
I enjoy helping others through their challenges because it gives my life more meaning and purpose, and to be able to offer hope through my lived experience and life story just feels good.
