I'm not exactly recovered, but I spent about 7/8 years in hospitals, roughly 5 of those years in total were on section 3. I was told in 2010 that in a few years, I'd be in prison, Broadmoor or dead.
I've lived on my own for the last 2 years with only 2 admissions, one was for 2 days and one was only a week on a section 2. So nothing compared to before.
I'm doing a degree and have had a few job offers.
So yeah. Things aren't perfect but improved by about a million times! People that knew me back when I was in hospital can't believe that im the same person!
