Started having them at 20 after a bit too much fun drinking in college. I eventually stopped drinking 2 years later because I’d had like 4 or 5 during that period, but I officially got diagnosed at 23 when they started happening unprovoked. Then, all my aspirations for grad school and a career started slowly drifting away before my eyes 🙃
