Was there a moment, big or small, where things seemed to shift a little bit?

Not where everything felt fixed, but where something inside you seemed to change, and because of that, you saw everything moving in a positive direction.

I've talked with people who describe having this kind of inner voice during their hardest moments.

Sometimes it feels like a running dialogue, almost like something talking to them or guiding their thoughts.

Did you experience anything like that?

And if you did, how did that inner voice show up for you during those difficult times and how has that relationship with it changed over time?

Now, from what you just said, you felt like someone was trying to harm you.

Now, you've also mentioned at different times you tried to commit suicide.

Now, you had two very different directions, part of you wanting to disappear and another part of you trying to hold on and stay safe.

Can you explain your thought process of that?

Sure, that makes sense.

That's a great answer.

I think that explains everything about as good as you possibly can.

Now, I've had the opportunity to talk to people about their medication regimen.

It seems by the time that they found the correct medication and got it all under control, they lost a decade.

For most of the people I've spoken with, from the time that they find point A to point B, they've lost a decade.

Was that a similar situation for you or did you get from point A to point B a little sooner?

Yeah.

I often think about this idea of shame versus truth because mental illness can carry a lot of stigma, especially early on.

Was there something you once felt ashamed of that now you're able to talk about openly?
