Hello everyone...i've been going 2 Nami (National Alliance for Mentally ill), for a year now. it was one of the toughest things i did, 2 walk into those front doors alone with no family support. But it was the best decision i have ever made. i now have friendz for the first time in my life (@ 47 yrs old) and an extended family that truly cares about
me. i go 2 groups almost everyday of the week and hang out there during off times just so i don't isolate @ home. Tho i have my very down days frequently i still make myself go where others understand those difficult and trying days of our lives.
i am also blessed that i have a wonderful husband of 25 yrs that supports me spending so much time there and my children that still live @ home. My family has even have been in the 4th of July Parade with me and my Nami Friendz, and we spent Thanksgiving there this year. it was wonderful and drama free...Christmas is around the corner and my family will be spending it also with me @ Nami this year.
i wish you all the same blessing.
