While many students spent time with family and friends over the Thanksgiving holiday last November, EMU senior Sheree Braswell was in the hospital. She checked herself in with suicidal thoughts and other symptoms of anxiety and depression.
"I felt grief after the death of some family members over the summer," says Sheree, 30, who had been hospitalized on four previous occasions for similar mental health issues. "Then another loved one became ill right before the start of the fall semester. I felt exhausted and emotionally drained."
Sheree's struggles with mental illness began at age 16. Doctors diagnosed her with bipolar disorder at age 22. A combination of psychotherapy and medication helped her continue her college studies. Sheree Braswell Sheree Braswell
After some medication adjustments, Sheree left the hospital shortly after her last hospitalization. But medical insurance coverage limitations prohibited her from seeing her regular therapist. Thankfully, Sheree received the help she needed at Eastern's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).
"I had a wonderful therapist through CAPS who helped me go through the process of grief," says Sheree, who graduated in April with a BA in Communications and minor in Family Sociology. "I also learned that I need to set boundaries and take care of myself so I'm not left feeling depleted. A person needs those skills to be successful in life. My therapist was very affirming and helped fill the gap until I was able to resume sessions with my longtime therapist."
