ABOUT Sherrys Graduation

My Schizoaffective Disorder occurred when I was a teenager

Here is my high school graduation picture. I had a rough time with life then. There weren’t many outlets and ways to vent my depression and paranoia. No one to protect me from the abuse and stress. Looking back, I don’t see how I made it through school with the demands of homework, working at a hamburger beverage place, and trying to find my identity. I’m glad I will never have to live under those intense situations again. Right now, I’m feeling so grateful for the professionals in the medical profession and my medication that sought me through. Soon, I will be joining my fellow classmates of Roseburg High School in Roseburg, Oregon for a Class of 67′ Birthday Party. It will be great to see how my classmates and are doing and how their lives have changed over the years.
