Participant Six: A

“I had a meeting and had stress about it. The group helped me and wrote their names and it helped me with the stressful appointment. I will get support with their writing.”

“It’s [the board] where I go and think about positive things to distract me from negative things I’m hearing and that gives power. It is also my quiet place to hide from voices that are there but I try to be in my quiet place and that helps me.”

“When I’m seeing illusions and things moving in my house and voices talking to me I go to my door house and I see trees and that distracts me from seeing and hearing things and voices talking to me.”

“The green grass reminds me of my country, it is green and makes me smile.”

“Those are my goldfish. When I am depressed I go to them and I will talk to them; they listen to me but if I talk too much one by one fish will move and when they are bored and I will stop talking. But after looking at them they will listen again and I will give them a big kiss and they will kiss me again and that makes me happy and helps with my depression. I love my fish to bits; they help me cope with my depression.”
