Opportunities are around you; choose the ones that pick you up and carry you forward.

There are a number of steps you can take to ensure you’re ready to return to work without putting your mental health at risk.
Coming out as a person who had been living with mental illness helped me not only find my voice but realize I always had one.
As I began to accept that recovering from depression did not mean outgrowing my support system, it became easier to fight.
Say no to fear. Embrace your imperfections, they make you who you are.
It’s important to be patient with yourself and remember even the smallest steps forward add up.

While I cannot always control the hold my mental illness has over me, I can ensure that my own self-care always remains a priority.
I believe it is important as an anxiety sufferer to learn how to get the most out of our lives despite our conditions.
It will get better. It will. It will. It will. I promise. Keep fighting for your freedom!
In my own recovery from a mental illness revolving around taking away my own sense of choice, small victories equate to measures of control.
While there is some truth in the stereotypes surrounding Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, it is an illness intricate beyond the façade of mismatched colors and a phobia of germs.
Do remember you’re stronger than you think, and eventually the storm will break. Every step forward, no matter how small, is progress.
What is important is that we keep moving forward. If we don’t, we can’t grow. It might be uncomfortable and we might be afraid. But I believe this is only the middle ground before we reach the other side, and we find that the water is cool and refreshing!
“Coming out” as a person who lives with mental illness is not a one-time thing; it’s something I must face over and over again, with different people, in different situations. But there is nothing more liberating than showing myself to the world as the brave and strong, yet fragile and sensitive, being that I am.
I have come to realize Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is not something I am, but something I have…I am neither the years I’ve lived with the disorder nor the amount of time it will take for me to get rid of it.
Romance is complicated for even the most “normal” individuals; so, for a girl suffering from a bad case of OCD mixed in with your fair
I stay accountable to my own recovery, even with its setbacks, and the possibility that I might just make it through this thing in one, beautiful piece.
Yes, recovery is hard. I know it, you know it, but maybe the answer to “Why me?” is “Because you are strong enough.” And just maybe you’ll emerge from this trial more than you ever thought you were.
You, me, us – the OCD sufferers of the world are so much more than our fears. We have so much to offer. Think of all your talents and gifts and how you’d like to use them.
So what next? A new year and a new recovery. I’m trying not to see it as starting from scratch again. I’ve recovered before and so I believe that I’ll recover again and perhaps faster, with more understanding and strength.
