In this image, I have used symbols to explain parts of my recovery:

​

Arrows - The lack of care from services and the inhumanity of psychiatric hospitals. The none answerable question - why aren’t I feeling better yet? The conflicting advice given.

​

Clocks - The pressure of time - should be married by 30, having children by 40, feeling well after 12 sessions, not waste your life.

​

Kangaroo and Crocodile - How some things don’t make sense - you’re doing well then suddenly you are not with no awareness of why.
