I'm a nurse practitioner, and i work in mental health with street youth. I've worked in inner city
psychiatry for 10 years, and i think my personal experiences help me understand others. I'm not afraid to be with other people who are experiencing extreme states, and i tend to be calm and help people calm themselves. I became a nurse because i wanted to be able to treat patients better than the way i was treated as a patient. I think i'm able to do that. Sometimes it's frustrating to work within a broken mental health system, but i hope that i make it a little better for people. I keep my own diagnosis pretty secret, none of my patients know and only a few coworkers know.
