Loma Linda University: Tyler's Journey — Recovering From Thoughts Of Self-Harm

Press release from Loma Linda University:

March 10, 2022

Tyler Rojanaroj had a good home life and positive family relationships with strong musical influences. But beginning in elementary school, rampant bullying from both students and teachers consistently accompanied him through high school. This caused him anxiety in high school beyond normal worries and brought him two years ago to the brink of wanting to hurt himself.

Now, with help from Loma Linda University Health’s behavioral medicine experts, Rojanaroj is enjoying meeting new friends and pursuing his passion in college. While some days are a challenge, he’s enjoying classes, meeting like-minded friends, and creating meaningful music.
