Is he or she your doctor, your parents, your spouse, your children, or social worker, teacher, therapist, or relatives and friends?
And how has he or she helped you?

I wish to thank to my parents for their understanding, and thanks to my Bible teacher for his kindness and his suggestion for me to seek psychiatry service 15 years ago.
I wish to thank the whole medical team of psychiatric unit at two local university hospital for their diagnosis and patience with me.

A huge and never ending debt of gratitude goes to my kid sis.

My parents never gave up on me and took me back time and time again.

My boyfriend who stayed with me and held my hand. He told me continuously that everything would get better, it would just take time and it has.

First and foremost, my father. He’s always believed in me and advocated for me even though I’ve done terrible things. Second my partner of eleven years. He met me during a relatively stable phase but has weathered hell with me and finds something to love me still. Finally, my most recent, but longest term, outpatient psychiatrist who’s not given up on me despite my being a difficult patient. A lot of others, especially from nineteen to twenty five or so, did. I’ve seen him since 2005.

I would thank my pdoc and husband, my pdoc for correctly diagnosing me and giving me good meds, and my husband for living with me through thick and thin, and still loving and understanding me.

I would have to thank my parents - they took me in, when I was at my worst - and I am grateful that we live in a day and age where these medicines can help

I would like to thank my mom and my dad. Dad showed up when the other patient smashed the tv when I was in hospital. He was allowed to, because he is a lawyer. Only a lawyer or a clergyman can visit you anytime at the hospital I was at. I think that is the same everywhere in the state, but I’m not sure about private hospitals.
