Before I joined the mental health system my life was a struggle.
I was high functioning, but I knew I could be better.

After being "diagnosed" I was in and out of hospitals for 11 years.
During that time I was put on many combinations of meds.
During that time I became low functioning.

When I left the mental health system and stopped taking meds, I gradually became high functioning again.
I am now better than I could ever imagine and getting better all the time.
