"My journey"

Since I've been in services since I was young its been tricky, obviously trying my hardest to do what I need to do day to day. Being under a section changes your life and you don't feel you will get back into the community, because you get paranoid and everyone is against you and you don't fell like you're getting the help.

Day to day I take one step at a time and I am interacting with my doctors and therapists. I taken more interesting working with the doctor and MDT and since then I've been working in the coffee bar, helping people with the till and sorting stock and serving in the patient shop. I'm doing a lot with impact at the minute and courses with them and went to the 100th anniversary conference.

I interact more with the Modern Matron's and my team. I've been talking about my life story and presenting that at various forums, it's made me really happy that I have been able to talk to people about 'my life' and that has made me realise that hospitals aren't they're here to make me better.
