When I started the 121-mile journey down to Finjagården, I had a hard time believing that I would feel good, feel like myself and be a more present mother & wife. The dream of living and not just surviving was just a dream. I started at a group home where I lived with six other clients. The journey was tough and I did what I could based on the conditions I had. There were very dark destructive thoughts and feelings about not being able to live. It was dark. Many plans about not being able to live and I had a lot of self-harm. Then there was a change of therapist and then I had to meet the person in charge of treatment. Then EVERYTHING turned around, the two of them came to the conclusion that everything I do and don't do is affected by my complex PTSD and more. It was an aha experience! That I will never forget. They understood me and I could understand myself more easily. I am not as crazy as I thought, there was an explanation, my PTSD. I was in the group home for about 1 year and then moved to the utslus apartments where I was for about a month. I learned to manage my feelings and thoughts. A different way of living and handling things. I gained skills and tools to be able to handle my feelings. Now 14 months later I am home. I live and not just survive. I am a more present mother & wife. I have gone from a lost caterpillar to a butterfly with a bright future. I see the whole journey as magical, not feeling or thinking about self-harm. Not thinking twenty-four-seven times that I can't live is such a relief and peace of mind within me. I am eternally grateful to them! I now get to live a valuable life. Thank you Finjagården, Sam & Therese
