Why Christie is a NAMI Racine County Member

I joined NAMI Racine County a few weeks after I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.

I recall feeling afraid, sad, and alone. I didn't understand my illness, let alone what being diagnosed meant for my future.

Involvement with NAMI Racine County has taught me that recovery is possible. Members provided support and helped me find hope as I navigated my way towards recovery.

I felt empowered to advocate for myself knowing that others living with similar experiences were there supporting me.

I no longer fear my illness... [I now have] the confidence to share my story in hopes of helping others.
