recovery
The best time in my life during recovery was when I wrote, directed, and produced a 7 min film which was entered into tropfest. I have managed to achieve important goals during the past 25 years. It has been along time since I found myself in a dark place. Recovery does take time and it can only occur when a solid understanding of ones persona is understood. My recovery has been enriching and fulfilling. My message to all those struggling with recovery is to become self aware and don't rely on others to make things happen for you. I have remained autonomous throughout my recovery. This has helped me understand that mental illness doesn't have to linger within us. Yes for most mental illness conditions medication is vital to control and stabilise the condition. For me medication is vital to stabilising my mood and i am grateful for it. I am also grateful for the fact that I have managed to achieve my goals and ambitions, some successfully others not so successfully. Hey that's life. I have remained strong and true to myself since my diagnosis in 1997.
