I am the person I am |
|
I battled for my recovery |
|
I consider myself very lucky |
|
I discovered who I was |
|
Getting my brain back |
|
I have survived a lot |
|
I helped change the mental health center |
|
If I can do it, anybody can |
|
It just takes persistence and faith |
|
It was all because they were things that I was doing by myself |
|
It was just plain wrong |
|
I've learned how to wean myself off the medicine |
|
I just love being alive |
|
Psych drugs had me in a death grip |
|
Resistance is not futile |
|
I said no thank you and I walked out of the office |
|
So I became an activist... giving back meant so much to me |
|
Taking personal responsibility |
|
That is health to me - to be able to give back |
|
There are not fundamentally broken |
|
There is life going forward |
|
There's so many other models |
|
This process has been an evolution of constant growth |
|
We can become greater than the sum of our parts |
|
We knew that it wasn't chronic |
|
You belong and you matter |
