In July, Seiter shared with his Instagram fans, “When I was 21 I was completely catatonic and committed to a psychiatric ward. When I was 22 I tried taking my own life. At 23 I underwent electroshock therapy. Later that year I harnessed every bit of strength I had and applied to law school.”<\/p>\n

He added, “At 25 I graduated law school top of my class. By 30 I became one of the most followed mental health advocates online and one of the top creators on OF. At almost 36, life is pretty dang near perfect. Never, ever give up. Your story isn\u2019t written yet. Every chapter is leading to a more perfect ending. I promise.”<\/p>\n
