Over weeks, Jeremy was by my side, listening to me, validating me, reminding me of all I had and all I could be. He helped explain the ward and listened to my fears.
When I was admitted to NW, I was in the deep throws of a profound manic episode. I was terrified, in a strange and scary place, and trying to cope with a new information. I didn’t trust anyone. Over weeks, Jeremy was by my side, listening to me, validating me, reminding me of all I had and all I could be. He helped explain the ward and listened to my fears. Jeremy was consummately professional and compassionate. As my trust in him grew, so did my trust in the system of care—which is what he set out to do. Because of him, I faced my bipolar illness, learned about it and how to manage it.
And that’s why I am being discharged today, with more health and hope than I ever held.
Jeremy has had a lasting impact on me and my life. Thank you.
