While disclosure of my personal experience with mental illness and recovery is not without some concern regarding its reception by others, I feel it's important I tell my story. This is because I wish to challenge the misunderstanding and stigma that surely surround mental illness. Also, I want to hold out hope to anyone presently struggling in the direction of recovery. I know life has its ups and downs--it does for everyone. But I feel better able to cope and for now, for me, life is good; I hope this article is of help in making this possible for others.
虽然披露我个人与精神疾病及康复的经历难免会让人担心他人对此的接受程度，但我觉得讲述自己的故事很重要。这是因为我希望挑战围绕精神疾病必然存在的误解和污名。此外，我想向目前正在康复之路上挣扎的任何人传递希望。我知道生活有起有落——每个人都是如此。但我感觉自己更有能力应对，而且就目前而言，对我来说，生活很美好；我希望这篇文章能帮助其他人也如此。
