BUCKiT® #20-Kit Karzen: Former Professional Cyclist, Activist, Talks Candidly About ADHD, Panic Disorders and the LGBTQ Community

June 12, 2016 is a date forever etched in the minds of many Americans as the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the nation’s worst terror attack since 9/11. A gunman opens fire inside a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida claiming the lives of 49 people and wounding 53 others. It was also the night a 25-year-old former professional cyclist Kit Karzen decided it was time to come out to family and friends -- not only to be true to himself, but to hopefully give others the strength to do the same. Kit learned early on in his life how to overcome challenges. At merely 8 years old he was diagnosed with ADHD, causing him to isolate himself from his friends at school. Then again in his early 20’s, he suffered silently with Chronic Stress Disorder. Feeling overwhelmed and out of control, Kit contemplates the unthinkable; a phone call changes his life forever. Each time Kit is faced with a problem, he confronts it head on and turns his obstacles in to an opportunity to help others who are going through the same experiences. In this open and honest interview, Kit shares his journey and his trials and tribulations along the way.
