OC87 Recovery Diaries is an interactive website that features stories of mental health, empowerment and change, created by and for those whose journeys of recovery speak to audiences from all walks of life. This project hopes to touch as many lives as possible and bring light to the lived experiences of recovery from mental illness: what matters, what helps, what’s hard, what might be next?
We tell stories about how people with mental health challenges have created paths to meaningful lives. We feature stories that inspire and empower, stories that generate discussion and awareness. OC87 Recovery Diaries presents a range of experiences-personal perspectives, recovery innovations, examples of empowerment, strengths and gaps in the mental health system, and efforts to dismantle stigma-all told by people moving through their own recovery journeys.

Or how about don't call violent terrorists to handle health problems. ACAB
Came across this just today, in my quest for people who can understand what I am going through, surviving a similar loss. I sit here in stunned silence, not finding words which usually come easy to me. Raghav could well have been my Rudy. I heard Raghav’s words in Rudy’s voice. Thank you for sharing your beautiful sibling with us, Rashi, and for bringing his words to us. May his memories give you comfort, purpose and joy ❤
Bought the book, and reading the rest of this beautiful soul’s laments. These lines are breaking me: The worst is that the best is over. As the beautiful summer of my life ends, The dreaded winter comes, the frightening winds blow. The winter is here, and its darkness shall last for years, while the ice won’t melt for ages.
First, I am very sorry for the loss of your Rudy. I am very moved, as the Executive Director of Recovery Diaries, the organization that made and shared this film, that you found this film when you needed it most. That human beings can be held and supported, and find others with whom they can identify in times of unutterable loss, from thousands and thousands of miles away, is why we do what we do-- it is our reason for being, so that others can truly know and understand that they are not alone, even in one of the most isolating occurrences possible: a loss to suicide.
@@OC87RD Thank you for the reply and for the kind words of support. Thank you also for what you do. It is priceless ❤️
i think its messed up that they disabled the viewing of kaits facebook and have such few photos of her online, if you try to look her up all you see is photos of kyleigh and almost nothing of kait, why not post every photo there is of her and let her be honored? there is barely any trace of her for the world to see. Kait should be able to shine independently, not only through her sisters words. There should be a memorial of all her photos.
Thank you so much for watching this preview film and for expressing yourself about Kait. I think every family handles death differently, particularly the death of a young person. I have no idea who is in control of Kait's digital presence that was left behind, but what I can tell you, as the Executive Director of Recovery Diaries, the organization that made this short film, is that a longer film is coming out later this month (August) that will feature far more of Kait's story and will, I hope, help serve to preserve her artistry and memory. Thank you again for sharing your feelings here.
I heard you play this weekend at Marlboro. You can be assured your music is going straight to our hearts. We are very grateful for it.
I think some exposure to first responder or dispatch calls should be a part of civics education. Not sure about what grade to start with, and privacy has to be kept for the people being helped. I think if Joe or Jane Public knew early on what the real price of picking up that phone was, and how many people were paying it, there would be maybe a little more civic responsibility.
Thank you for sharing your story/ testimony ✝️💕 Prayers for all those with bipolar
You're a VA veteran you're a loser

Extra Mile so poignant...It carries the pain and suffering through which he was negotiating all alone..God bless his soul🎉🎉🎉
My mother has had schizophrenia for years since 30 im 37 i was 5 when she first got it. Really sad but you learn and it becomes ok
Disgusting to have a number for a name 💀💀💀💀
I got shot on June 2nd this year, along with my younger brother and our friend. I’m 22 weeks pregnant. I vividly remember the burning sensation and how painful the hospital visits were/are when it came to changing my bandages. I’m so lucky that all three of us survived. It’s a sad situation that affects everyone and the families involved too. I know it hurts my mom to know both her children got shot, and to constantly see the pain we’re going through. Gun violence is no joke and I wish people valued human life more. All it would’ve took was me not listening to my instincts and I could’ve got shot somewhere else, closer range, or shot in my stomach. Thank God I’m alive
An amazing person ! This is such a moving story.
I just take anxiolytics and alcohol, not even American, 16 years on the streets, trying to find my way out.
When I was a young teenager I saw Med students on the bikes wearing white coats and some carrying Stethoscopes around the neck. That was when I fell for this n highly acclaimed profession. With hard work and determination I entered the Med school. Another five years of diverse studies, some moments of happiness but mostly shocks and jolts along the way I qualified and started internship in OBGy since I found in an OBGy prof a role model for myself . While on rotation to Surgery as I carried out some minor operations I believed I was on the top of the world. So I came back to surgery and long after endless days and sleepless nights I was blessed with the ultimate joy of fellowship in surgery. Fuelled by ambition and pleasure I followed an academic carrier until the day of retirement and occasionally afterwards until this day. I may have touched the hearts of some people, my students, patients and juniors, I was also touched by their gratitude and prayers. It dawned to me early enough that Surgery was not just a profession, it’s a passion, more like a mission. There are successes and their are failures but you keep going for the the sake of the sick and ailing humanity. Asked If I take the same road, I shall say YES .
Spooked. That while place needs to be inspected inccase any raw human bones apear.
You can tell I'm afraid.

It was after my 2nd shooting that I finally realized the department doesn’t give a f*** about you. They send you to the shrink as a check the box to cover the department that’s paying them. If you ask any other questions they just tell you to call somebody on your own.
The image of picking up those pieces. I always remember years ago I said that I would not leave any part of me behind and just like looking in the dirt for my soul. Life with a schizophrenic mother or father is terrifying. I am lucky my mum did recover but I think I took her memories and energies to save her and now I’m left with underlying symptoms not fully but I recognise them. And becoming very unwell is a normality for me. And yer my kids had to see me from very young unwell. But I took care of them. They didn’t have to live on the streets like I did, to get away from my parents. So rather than running away now I need to meet that part of me that could of gone one to be schizophrenic and release that trauma and it is in my dna and it’s inherited but mine wasn’t fully recognised as I am too intelligently aware of myself. So it’s a bit of living between worlds. So I must integrate that so my family doesn’t have to inherit this and hopefully delete that from our genetic coding. Recoding I guess.
I cried so had 😢 guns are one of the worst things man have made I have lost so many friends family and the love of my life to a gun fix it Jesus please or send your angels down here we need your help!
He's not wrong. A lot of calls are fairly minimal, non-injury traffic crashes, noise complaints etc. A lot of emergency services call takers & dispatchers forget that what is minimal to them because they experience it every day is someone worst day. Numerous DV related calls for service, where its the same people week in week out. But then you get those calls, the ones you still think about months or years later. The ones that still make your eyes sting when you think about them.
Ursula Rucker!!! Rocket 🚀!!❤
This is interesting because it is not in the documentary. When I am too tired to go out, I don't do a social fake, I just tell people, "I am too tired. I need to decompress. I am going home now. Goodnight."
im black and trans, born as a women. I feel so bad for white trans women/men because I think it's easier to tell the difference. Since transitioning I have had almost no problems with people believing I'm a black man, compared to when I was a woman growing up. I think many black women also have this problem, I've seen manly inherently masculine black women like me who are probably men but feel uncomfortable coming out, since the LGBT community isn't that prevalent within black communities.
Thank you for sharing your story. You're helping so many people. Praying for you ❤
Quit
What a brilliant suggestion! Rather like the folks who tell people who identify legitimate problems with the United States to "love it or leave it."
If they view reaching out as weakness then they shouldn't be cops
STFU "Poor me, I decided to pursue my dangerous career that's why I am a drunk bully." (yes, we know you are a bully. Just stop. Tired of whining cops. YOU were not appointed a cop. You chose this. YOU are a f'ing volunteer, not a victim.
Children of Kennedy, call ...ireland
Explain, sorry for being abrupt, call to ireland we like to listen
Heros don’t premeditate being a hero.
Love his attitude!
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's so brave and inspiring and will help so many people going through depression.
I’m 6 months pp with pp ocd. My intrusive thoughts are about my health. I have the common ones like would’ve something happen to my baby but most times mine are would’ve something happen to me? Who would care for my kids
Keep it up
More people need to see this video ❤ - everybody wants to hold the baby, who will hold the mother? ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for holding space for us!
Well said!
Seemshe could tackle his PTSD and still serve on NAVY ships.😊
Curious what his rank Was and was dude even in combat as a rescue swimmer?⚓️🇺🇸🍻✌🏻
Thanks for perpetuating the macho, horseshit stereotype that only combat veterans have somehow earned the "right" to be psychologically impacted and traumatized. Did you know the suicide rate is actually higher for non-combat veterans? You're on KZread with a fictitious screen name; he's being fully open and vulnerable with his identity, story, and emotions, for all to see, including opening himself up to criticism and derision by people like you. So maybe check your attitude and your emojis. ✌️
You all worry about what you did to people and I forgive you❤
someone please talk more about this he is the only person who understands
