Looking Back In Time....

     Looking back in time, I see myself in the behaviors (that 
classify my diagnosis) through the behaviors of my clients at
work. I see what happened to me is happening to them. But,
this hindsight doesn't do me much good.

     Looking back in time, I see my family's reaction to the 
fact that I am mentally ill. Even though my grandfather and
uncle had mental illness, they were accepting at the lack
of love and understanding from family. But I was not 
predisposed in this manner and fought back, even to this day,
I fight back, and I never give up. 

     Looking back in time, I see the struggle,
a set vision of what defines mental illness, without any 
education as to how to treat mental illness. Now, when 
someone in the family gets diagnosed- what happens to 
family comes first?

     Looking back in time, there are definitely issues.
Growing pains is what they used to call it. I will use
the Erickson ladder and tell you that I am stuck to the
rung ten through twelve.  

     Looking back in time, my family gave up, but I never
did.
