1.the most important thing( actually person )that changed my life is when I found a wonderful counselor who I had over 13 years ( until she retired )....I'd call it the best discovery as she helped me understand my mental illness and help me find hope inside myself I thought was gone
2.Psychcentral is second best discovery especially when it comes to my mental health ....I made so many close friends here who we help and support and ebcourage each other ( even if we just need to vent sometimes )....I feel my PC friends are more family to me than my own family ...Thank You all
3. My art work ...tho I always loved to draw since I was young and was self taught art gas become a form of therapy for me .....I also discovered painting in 1999 while living in a group home and attending a program where they had an art therapist .....she showed me a book on rock painting and I started painting that year which was a new discovery for me as far as art and being creative
4.Strength ....not physical strength but finding the strength inside to fight each day and be strong when it comes to living with a mental illness ....years ago I didn't think I had that strength so it is a Big discovery for me
5.Hope.. I really feel the first four discoveries helped me find Hope ...for a long time since I was 10 I felt hopeless .. giving up a couple times ......but that counselor ,PC,my art and finding strength inside helped me find Hope inside not to give up but to keep going
Thank You for this ...Please be safe everyone
