When I was college, the voices started in my head. I lost my 20’s with 3 psych lock ups and the loss of 4 jobs. But I was lucky enough to find an good psychiatrist, who with the right meds saved my life. I’m 56 now. Have a great job...a wonderful family. FU mental illness. You didn’t win this time.

Yayyyy! Congrats! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Hearing about others’ success in beating their mental illnesses gives me a ton of hope that I will also be able to defeat mine as well.

Keep your chin up, stay strong and keep telling your story. You're an inspiration!

I have two kids with mental illness. It’s been tough. Both trying to kill themselves, in and out of hospitals. One of them deals with delusions both visual and auditory since he was little. It hasn’t been easy. It’s nice to see your success story. We hope to get to that stabilized point in our lives one day soon. Thank you for sharing.
