Five years ago I was told that in all probability I would never be able to work again. Filing for social security disability made me feel like a failure.  Even with this financial assistance I lost all that was important to me.  There were many times that I just gave up.  It's a miracle that I am alive.   Fighting our way back from the abyss is possible.  NAMI programs in California and Oklahoma helped me find some of the help and resources I needed.  Sometimes it is difficult to ask for help.  It makes us feel vulnerable. Yet, it's in our vulnerability that we find strength.  We find strength in coming to together.  We can receive and give the support we need to go forth and conquer our challenges together.  I encourage you to seek out a NAMI connections group.
