I am thrilled to bring you this really incredible interview that I did with Cameron Cage about her recovery from traumatic mental illness and psychiatric disorders.
So many good nuggets in this interview. Two in particular near the end.
"Maybe I can't do it right now, but I want to, so I'm going to give myself the tools for when I am ready." Kshdelm 'Ol (on buying carving tools for future use.)
AND:
"Once you've stepped outside the hopelessness, you are recovering." Sarah Faye. (on looking at recovery in a different way.)
Candace is a really brave young woman. I really appreciated her honesty and vulnerability. It gives me hope one can still be recovering and yet also help so many people at the same time. Thanks to you both for sharing.
Very touching interview. Research says that abandonment is harder to overcome than physical abuse, violence. It is a long journey, which starts with one first step. Always happy to hear of brave people setting out on the journey. The Heart Room is there for everyone who needs it.
Thank you! Sharing this with Cameron now!
Mental illness and recover looks different according to every patient. That's the human nature of things.
Some recover using medication, others using art or other forms of expression, others from social support. But all of them need 3 things:
-acceptance
-guidance
-facing and winning the war with stigma
Yes!
