"My recovery from being a recluse with no social life and extremely depressed"

About: Hounslow Recovery Team East

(as a service user),

About 2 years ago I got very depressed and suicidal. I didn't leave my home and didn't want to talk to anybody or do anything. I lost all motivation to look after myself. But since meeting Marcella, Occupational Therapist, from Hounslow Recovery Team, things have changed. I am now feeling much better in myself, emotionally and I am able to do everyday things that I had stopped doing. Also I am able to go outside on my own for the first time in years because Marcella helped me to realise that my thoughts and fears are not in control of my life, I am! I am now seeing a positive future for myself, including beginning to prepare for employment.
