Bonjour à tous,

Je vais vous raconter une tranche de ma vie. 

Lorsque j’étais petite, j’ai eu un accident de vélo. J’ai été dans le coma une semaine et ensuite j’ai eu un traumatisme crânien. Par la suite, j’ai eu des difficultés toute ma vie au point où ma mère a dû m’acheter un chat en peluche pour m’aider à poursuivre ma vie après mon traumatisme. 

Plus tard, j’ai développé la maladie mentale et, il y a 6 ans, je me suis achetée ma Blanche-Neige.

Certains d’entre-vous ne comprennent pas toujours, mais ce n’est pas facile de vivre avec la maladie mentale. C’est un combat de tous les jours. Blanche-Neige me suit partout, question de sécurité. Si je n’ai pas Blanche-Neige, je ne me sens pas en sécurité.

 

Blanche-Neige
