Maintaining my dignity is so important for me.
Being in the dark, there's a real weight to it. It's heavy.
The road to recovery will not always be easy, but I will take it one day at a time, focusing on the moments I've dreamed about for so long.
Every day I have many choices to make about who I want to be.
I don't think I'm unusual in that, in my 20s, like many people, I felt invincible.
I'm afraid of elevators, because they are an enclosed space, but I get in.
