Glass Half Empty or Half Full?

Asking me this question 10 years ago, at my lowest ebb, my reply would’ve been vastly different than today.

Back then I was just ‘here,’ just one among many, invisible in the crowd, alive – but I wasn’t living.

These days I am hopeful, my life is headed in a completely positive direction. My recovery from negative issues is improving daily and many of my misconceptions have disappeared in their entirety.

So now when I’m asked the question ‘is my glass half empty or half full,’ and my reply is simply this.

I need a bigger glass

Hey everyone, pleased to meet you all. I'm currently reporting from the Bolton area. I have a degree in Psychology and Sociology and for many years worked in the care sector specialising in paranoid schizophrenia and bi-polar disorders. During this time I also achieved my NVQ lvl 4 in Health and Social Care. Additionally I specialised in caring for children and adults with severe autism and severe learning disabilities. I am fluent in makaton and PECS, both systems designed to promote the development of speech for those who are not able to communicate successfully. I hope to use my time alongside my Groundswell colleagues to enact changes in our current broken and underfunded system of support.
