Grieving the Life I Thought I’d Live

Often, I reminisce on what it was like to feel mentally “healthy” — the way I was during my childhood.

It was only with knowledge that I became more comfortable with both my condition and my treatment.

It was like taking care of a large family inside myself.

I’ve learned that hope walks with the hurting.

People with mental health conditions must develop and cultivate meaningful, supportive and organic connections.
