Before the texts give way to the workshop blog, I will take the holidays, these dates endearing to some, indifferent to others and amplifying gap for a few people, as the inevitable excuse to open a door of my feelings after a year of blog, blog and more blog.
For a project ends up eclipsing many areas of your life. You have to be alert, be on guard and agree an ongoing commitment to yourself: to continue taking steps every day to keep alive a search history, meetings, learning and control, all it takes.
My food, my motor, my urge to move forward on this journey have been, above all, people.
First, the main force have given me the "patients, those with whom I live every day in the office, on the ground, in the group of good morning, in the machine coffee or this or that program. Their looks, their histories, their touch, their despair, laughter ... every little detail, every little bit shared, strengthen my firm belief that just before the patient one person to discover it needs a social-health system humane, just and capable and open society, tolerant and above all, knowledgeable.
Joining them are colleagues, friends, people who love you, anonymous people who have crossed your path: Caesar and his company and essential support, Cachi and their willingness and enthusiasm constant, Jesus, Paul, Hilari, Lizardo, "the nikosianos" Jose, Amaia, Naomi, Sandra, Michael ...
My balance "final", then? Tilt gratitude, no doubt. And is that all the time and effort employees have been little if compared to what I measure this year I received: Jumping Walls also because has been a jump inside and growth, an injection of enthusiasm, a lesson in humility.
met year of JACD
"It's been a year since our psychologist came up to hang a blog on the Internet. One idea has borne fruit by opening the doors of these physical walls and invisible to the society to which we turn, with an idea from the beginning of information so that these ideas diffuse and disappear wrong with us.
We
has visited this process television and the press, giving the newspaper the day a national journalism award for best article on mental illness. More recognition that regional acceptance, nationally and internationally that we are having makes us feel very satisfied.
circumstances I am a patient I've been here since the beginning of the blog, say that I am a pioneer of the subject, but on the workshop blog also spend many patients with high faster than leave an injection every day.
Thanks to our psychologist, our Caesar and an administrative supervisor we pass the written, as no funds each have a computer.
I hope that this idea emerged over the years continue to give some positive fruits as we know, and that way of seeing society change because we are human like any other like it. "

"It is reaching the end of this year. I passed everything. I've met new people, I'm getting older but I have a young spirit. This year has passed quickly something which in my situation is something that benefits me because I'm waiting for a goal that takes a while to come. Here at the asylum have been spending some patients had been before. I had decompensation for which I have consulted with my psychiatrist and I have adjusted the medication. I've had a hard time because of alcohol on occasion. But I close this year more mature, with self, that I've always missed. I have also made mistakes, I admit, they are no longer so much about my disease. I can definitely leave the world of cocaine and prepare to spend Christmas with my family, without excesses and healthy as possible. I loved this year, which I thought would not happen to me, but went a different way but it was counterproductive. I realized something very important, thought that feeling would never wake me, given how hard it has been my life and my psychiatrist told me that would happen and it was true. Well, my specialist was not wrong in anything I have said, given it every day I am more convinced that we need our professionals to support and guide to follow. I hope that next year will be as good as it tried to correct many things in my character and personality as I need, but it is also the result of a lengthy detention process that I deserve for personal reasons. "
My recovery E.
"I spent almost a year in the hospital rehabilitating drugs. I feel quite well. I like to go out to share Christmas with the family. Seeking
feel better next year. I'll wait to pass it and then talk about the next while I prefer to vent telling sentences rehabilitation within the Center. My imagination does not cover both waiting for other things. I guess next year will be better, because I need a lot. Support both psychological and physical. I've spent almost everything and I dream home whatever happens. I guess I'll get in the meantime I will continue in the shade I checked, I need to get more positive note, I've been writing this since I've put it up a role. Exit and go start another year to celebrate Christmas. "

" Overall good. The psychiatrist let me out 4 to 7 and go out with a friend a ride out there. But in 2011 I would be free and have friends help me and have some passion, but it will come as I have without being with a woman at least five years and would like to be with some, to see if it can be. I think I can go out with someone about my age, and if I can be with her much better, so I calm down my anxiety about it. "
The Christmas of JFMS For
Christmas for me, as usual, sad because my children take me to his house and I'm not happy because they have good cars, and my daughter who is lecturing earn much money. The holidays are truly useless for me because I think my family is getting better and if I can not trouble me much because I go out and give me a tour of Santa Cruz and La Laguna and so distracted me a bit. Child to my mother trout and sweet potato flour, and made them very good.
The Christmas Y.
"I believe that I'm going to spend Christmas in hospital. I would like to be outside, but it will not be so the problem I have, schizophrenia. I want to be with my brothers because I really miss. "
My recovery
Y." For me recover would be a great merit, it would stop taking drugs, go out and face the world, see my family, would be a dream, but for now I have to endure because I can not leave the hospital. I have to keep taking the medication and stay the course ".
The Christmas
JLM" This Christmas I will spend the psychiatric center to my house like rats, although I I'm no rat. Nor do I think are worth seeing. In these cases it is best could you be quiet and entertained with your computer, fixing something, little things often important. "
