"My time at Logan House"

About: Lives Lived Well - Logan House

(as a service user),

When first coming into Logan House I was very apprehensive and anxious as to what I was walking into, afraid of peers and others judgments and fears of being alone on such a journey on which has taken years for me to commit to and to which path I was going to take in doing so. First days are always overwhelming coming into new changes and surroundings and due to my severe anxiety and paranoia I was in great fear I would find myself running before allowing myself to be mindful of enough time to even giving it a chance. Surprisingly enough i faced my fears and to this day am so grateful I did, as I found I had absolute the exact opposite of what my perceptions and thoughts were prior to coming. Everyone was so welcoming kind and most importantly supportive and just like everyone we all have a story and I no longer felt alone. The programs are so insightful and rewarding after each and every class, the routine is structured in accordance to your own comfortability and independence and the team work is exceptional. I’d only been here at Logan House coming up to 4 weeks and find myself a totally completely different person inside and out as to the person I came in.

 The staff and facilitators are incredibly supportive and in my case with my individual case worker I was able to be me which is also something I struggled with and in such an open minded level finally being heard and listened to with no judgment whatsoever and in a comfortable status in which doing so being something I myself found to be hard to feel in the past. I can actually say in this short period of time already I have found out so much more about myself I never saw before and in a more positive perspective now and it feels amazing. I finally feel like I have a self worth and self love in a future now into something I can finally look forward in living for. I am so proud I gave myself a chance and with not a regret in the world I took that step into coming to Logan House and can’t wait each and every day now as to what’s ahead now for me as I can actually finally say I’m excited
