The power of Rosewood

Posted By Liza Liza Diamond Geezer

"The power of Rosewood"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

(as a service user),

I have been sectioned. I am on meds and my life, i felt was on the scrapheap, (or so i thought.)

I attended a friday meeting at Rosewood and i shed more than a tear and was blown away by its positivety.

I just HAD to return. When i walked through the door, i wouldn't say boo to a goose, and now i ask many, many questions and give the powers that be some stick!

Deep down in my heart i know that i wouldn't be where i am today without Rosewood and its members. I finally feel part of something and a have STRONG feeling of belonging. To me, that feeling is better than a huge lottery win!

Also i am part of the Rosewood belly dancing troupe named 'The Rosehips'. That has also helped with my confidence massively! I get away with murder and it is such, such fun.

If anyone out there reading this feels like joining a powerful and life changing place, then please do. I'll put the kettle on.
