Hi @cameron Thank you for being here - it was very brave of you to do this show but also shows us that anything is possible given the right help and the right circumstances.

Hi @TAB and @Shaz51 (enjoy watching it!)
We thought the show was a really interesting way to start a discussion about stigma, stereotypes and mental illness – so for everyone, what was the main thing you took away from the show? And especially for you Cameron someone has submitted a question - Did you achieve what you wanted to achieve by participating in the show?

And gday to you @cameron
I have not seen the episode tonight but will watch it tomorrow.
I found that last week's ep was really interesting because the specialists found it hard to pinpoint some people.

What was the main thing you took away from the show?
That even my own understanding of my diagnosis is constantly changing. To find that I have a lot more coherence and mental coordination than I really expected was a very emotional experience. It really shows that recovery is something you can trust.
Did you achieve what you wanted to achieve by participating in the show?
The main thing I wanted to achieve was to show that I am a functioning, regular person, a person who has hopes, thoughts, opinions and ideas about this existence that we live in. I hope that came across. What I didn’t expect was that I was more functional than I even expected.
