Hello everyone, I’m a 36-year-old woman dealing with schizophrenia and substance use. It has been a challenging road, but I’m learning to find strength in my struggle. Through therapy and support groups, I’ve discovered coping mechanisms that help me navigate my daily life. I’ve also found solace in art and writing, which allow me to express my emotions. Despite the difficulties, I remain hopeful and determined to live a fulfilling life. I want to encourage others in similar situations to seek help and never give up. Together, we can overcome our obstacles and find the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for listening to my story.
