In Her Own Words

My name is Sue Zywokarte. I have served on the Board of Pathway Homes since 2006 and I was a Pathways consumer until recently. I now live independently. I was fortunate to come to Pathway Homes in 2002. My journey before I came to Pathways involved struggles with mental illness, substance abuse and eventually, homelessness. I struggled with relationships with people.

Part of me had a strong need to connect to people, but I never really felt like I fit in. I did well in school  – but I had a hard time connecting with other kids. I felt somehow that I didn’t belong.

This conflict – between feeling secure only when I was alone and yet wanting to connect with people – left me sometimes feeling worried and sad. I was diagnosed with depression in high school and had periods where I was feeling better as a young adult, but these periods got shorter, and the substance abuse magnified my mood swings. I dropped out of Virginia Tech. My family tried to help but nothing was working. I had trouble maintaining a place to live because relationships with roommates made me so uncomfortable and I couldn’t afford my own apartment.
