I spent the morning watching videos – not Madmen or Glee, In Treatment or New Girl – rather I Got Better. This isn’t some new FOX show you’ve missed, rather it’s a collection of videos by people who have recovered from mental and emotional distress. An initiative of Mind Freedom, these to-camera, and sometimes written, stories aim to change the narrative of mental illness, to relate that it is possible to move from ‘hopelessness and chronic illness to themes of resiliency, recovery, wellness, and HOPE!’
I’m sharing two of the stories here. Do share yours.
