On the sixteenth day of the eighth month in the year 2000. In the early hours of Wednesday morning, my mother had gone into labour and was about to give birth naturally to a baby boy. At exactly 7 AM on August 16, 2000, a baby boy my mum and dad had named Tyson Tindall had been safely born. I came out weighing exactly eight pounds, and I was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck, I came out blue. By the age of just two years old, I was diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, and a moderate intellectual disability. (ADHD stands for; Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder. ODD stands for; Oppositional Defiant Disorder). At the same age, my mum had done her rounds with several different doctors before finding one that would medicate a child under the age of eighteen. I was trialed on several different medications. But as soon as I was eighteen, I decided to (against doctor's orders) cease my current medication I was on due to the fact that I felt as if the medication had begun to no longer do its job. The medication I was on stunted my growth and slowed down my puberty. Due to being medicated from a young age, all the different drugs I was placed on had fucked up the function of my brain development, therefore resulting in me not thinking like an adult. I also suffered a wide range of mental health illnesses such as; Depression, Anxiety, and Suicidal ideations, I have also attempted suicide more than once in my life but I'm not proud of it and I'm glad I'm still here today. In 2020 I had been prescribed the antidepressant drug known as Mirtazapine which I currently am still taking even though it's doing fuck all. Fast forward to 2022 and I'm not the greatest nor am I okay but I'm getting there and making the most of life while I'm still young at twenty-one. With all I have been through in life I've got thick skin and I'm bulletproof, it will take anyone a lot to actually eventually break me. In 2019 I launched my very own first ever business that has now been around for two years. The business includes music production, song writing, singing, rapping, writing novels and modelling. I have participated in one photoshoot for modelling and I had an absolute ball. Taking hours of setting up the lighting, cameras, doing the makeup and choosing the outfits before actually posing for the shoot. Along with working as a musician, author and model I have also inspired many to pursue their dreams. Without spoiling anything but I've been working secretly behind the scenes working on some top-secret projects and in 2022 I hope to launch an all-new merch line as well as working on some brand-new music. Along with also getting back in the groove to write more books as well as finish off many unfinished novels.
Throughout this memoir we hope to uncover untold stories from my past life told in no other way other than my own. We also hope to inspire many to step up and share their stories and experiences in their own way and own context.
