This is the third part of my three part essay covering the
pre-diagnosis, post diagnosis to present and future phases of my recovery. This
third part will be about the future of my recovery experience. I will share my
hopes that I have for my future as well as goals that I expect to achieve. It
will look both at the distant future and more immediate future.
One of my short term goals is to leave the group home in
which I currently reside. I will make a move towards independence by getting an
apartment. Actually I am looking at renting a room in a house. The house where
I will be living is in Brattleboro
I have certain things I will like to do in my recovery. One
of these is to become more educated on mental health and recovery. I will go to
support groups to learn more about my illness and recovery. I will also read
other peoples stories of recovery from other blogs and books. I will hope to
share much of what I learn with others. Schizophrenia played a dominant role in
the writing of my life story. I believe that now I can make the most of what I
have been given by sharing what I have experienced with others.
I believe I can be successful in my recovery. I also believe
that my experiences with mental illness give me a powerful voice. This voice
will help provide meaning and fulfillment in my life. I find sharing my story
to be rewarding. One day I hope to be able to share this story with a larger
audience than I am currently. My dream is to one speak publicly about my
recovery experience. I will diligently work towards making this dream a
reality, one day at a time.
