Becca's story

I had spent a lot of time in hospital when I was unwell.

All my friends and family dropped off and I’d stopped going out of the house.  I was pretty miserable.

The only people I used to see were a nurse from the hospital and a doctor once a month.

When I met the Recovery Program worker, she asked questions about me.  She didn’t just ask about my medication and what was going on in my head.

She made me feel like a real person.

We started talking about all the things I could do in my life.  Then we actually went and had a go at doing them!

I still have some bad days, but I feel more on top of things now.

I haven’t been to hospital for over a year and I am getting out of the house more.

I’m doing some volunteering and looking at enrolling in a TasTAFE course.  I have a couple of friends I catch up with most weeks.  There’s heaps more stuff I want to start doing now.
