I’m new here!
Hi, I’m lateforthis. My daughter was diagnosed with bipolar I and schizoaffective disorder last year. This follows handfuls on handfuls of medical stabilizations, psychiatric admissions, IOPs, PHPs, overdoses, suicide attempts, and residential stays from age 13-15. I can’t summarize it all. She turned 18 last month and its a new kind of hell. I need community who gets this.

Volunteer Spotlight: John F. O'Donnell
Meet John! John started volunteering with NAMI-NYC’s In Our Own Voice program. With In Our Own Voice, John had the opportunity to share directly with people living with mental illness how he achieved recovery and success. He even had the opportunity to return to one of the hospitals where he received treatment. Through volunteering with NAMI-NYC, John gives hope and helps others realize that it’s okay to talk, and even joke, about living with a mental illness.
We recognize volunteers like John during Volunteer Appreciation Week and every week. It is work like his that helps bring mental health support to those who need it.

Therapy
I've been in Therapy with this Therapist for 3 months. I've tried meditation, journaling, praying, on my own. Despite it being stagnant and ineffective I kept going I didn't give up. She however did. I feel devastated. I wish I could get that time back. I've had many Therapists I've been in Therapy for years it never worked. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm still in the process of getting a Primary Care Physician. I'm not on any medication. I don't know what to do. I didn't give up. And I'm not giving up. Therapy isn't working. I dedicated too much time and effort and energy and it didn't pay off at all. I'm not giving up. What are the alternatives and options that for Therapy. I have to keep going. I've been and remain completely sober and I am proud of that I know that mental illness and substance abuse go hand in hand. I'm trying to make sure I stay safe happy healthy and protected despite having no support system. The system in general has failed me. Yet I persists and I'm going to keep going. #MentalHealth #Depression #Anxiety #OCD #Insomnia #Autism #ADHD #AspergersSyndrome #Meditation #Meditation #Bipolar1
