  • Update - About me

    Saturday, May 9, 2009

    I just want to let you all know that I have been on DS for almost two years now.  When I first joined, I had recently been discharged from a two week stay at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital.  I have come a long way and thanks to Daily Strength, I was able to grow, learn, and share.  Knowing my triggers and Using Affirmations and Cognitive Therapy has been a big help in my recovery....

  • inspirational poem

    Monday, July 27, 2009


    I know that I understand, how little they really know.
    And that look of pity on their face, will always show.

    I have lots of hopes and desires, and things I dream of. 
    I know my legs may be useless, I may travel b...
