“I thought I would be living in the hospital for the rest of my life, and now I am living a life I love on my own. I have accomplished so much in my 8 years out of the hospital:
-I got my first job bagging groceries at Hannaford (I have now been there 7 years)
-I graduated after approximately 2 years in DBT
-I got my first apartment
-I got my fur baby, Millie
-I became my own guardian and payee
-I got my high school diploma
And now, I am an MFS Incorporator. MFS asking me to be an Incorporator feels like they are giving me a voice. I never thought I would be brave enough to share my story. I appreciate MFS for believing in me. I am proud to share my story, and I hope to spread information about mental health stigma in the hope of educating more people.”
