I was in school when I had my first psychotic break. I was in school when I had my second psychotic break. I was in school when I was hospitalized for depression and addiction. But, I persevered through school to achieve a Masters Degree in Social Work. I love social work. I do work now for a mental health center. I work with my peers, people who have psychiatric and/or emotional illness. I love the work I do. One thing I can say for sure is that with time, one can overcome any obstacle and make a success story out of it, I believe this to be true for all persons. We all experience life on life’s terms. We have benefits and we have consequences. I believe success stories from others help us with our motivation to achieve. And, I truly want to achieve in this life of mine. I have wasted too many years to active symptoms of a dual disorder. Peace,
Andy
