AN UNFORTUNATE UPDATE Mood
Monday, June 1, 2009

 

I KNOW THAT SO MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY WORRIED AND FOR THAT I AM SORRY...I HATE THAT THIS RECENT JOURNAL WILL BE SOAKED WITH A BIT OF SADNESS BUT HERE GOES...

 

ON MEMORIAL DAY, THIS PAST WEEK AT AROUND 12:30 AM, I SAT ON THE FLOOR WITH SOME PHOTOGRAPHS CRYING AND I SWALLOWED THE CONTENTS OF 4 OF MY PILL BOTTLES.

THIS CONSISTED OF OVER 20 ATIVAN, 10 TRAMADOL AND A HANDFUL OF VICODAN AND OXYCODONE. AS I STARTED TO DRIFT OFF I CALLED MY BEST FRIEND TO SAY GOODBYE, AND LUCKILY FOR ME HE WAS WORRIED ENOUGH TO RACE TO MY APARTMENT...

 

I CAN'T REALLY TELL YOU ALL WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ANY CLEAR OR REAL RECOLLECTION OF THE EVENTS OF THAT EVENING. I KNOW THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO HAVE MY STOMACH PUMPED...I WAS PUT ON A HEART MONITOR AS WELL AS OTHERS AND LOADS OF IV FLUIDS.

 

FOR 3 DAYS I WAS ON CONSTANT OBSERVATION AND THEN WAS TOLD THAT THE PSYCH. DOCTOR WAS "302'ING" ME AND SENDING ME TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL'S PSYCH. WARD FOR AN INDETERMINATE TIME. BASICALLY I WAS COMMITTED AGAINST MY WILL.

 

THE MENTAL FACILITY THAT I WAS SENT TO WAS THE SADDEST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN...AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY "EX-BOYFRIEND"?, I WOULDN'T EVEN BE HOME...HE SPOKE TO THE DOCTORS THERE AND CONVINCED THEM THAT THIS WASN'T THE PLACE FOR ME TO BE. SO, MY TIME THERE WAS LIMITED, THANK GOD! BUT, AS A CONDITION I AM REQUIRED TO GO TO GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL THERAPY AS AN OUT-PATIENT 3X'S A WEEK. I START TOMORROW.

 

I AM OK...AM I DEPRESSED? YES. AM I GOING TO MAKE IT? I CAN ONLY HOPE...THE SUICIDAL THOUGHTS ARE GONE FOR NOW...I HAVE HURT MANY PEOPLE BY MY ACTIONS AND MY SINCEREST HOPE RIGHT NOW IS THAT I CAN MEND THEM...I HAVE ALSO LOST 34 POUNDS...THAT'S THE ONLY PLUS I CAN SEE FROM ALL OF THIS...

 

HOPE THAT YOU ALL ARE WELL,

 

EMMIE

    I am so sorry that you are so depressed! I can say that I understand to some extent. I will never tell someone that I COMPLETELY understand. I never could. But i have been dealing with mad depression and suicidal thoughts for a while. I finally started therapy back in December. I had to talk my way out of being committed too for my suicidal plans. I started the therapy and it really helped. I hope and pray that you have a good group with good counselors! DO this for yourself! You are so worthy and deserve good things! And you are courageous! Don't forget that! If you need anything, just to talk, someone to listen, then I am here! Keep in touch with me! I will be thinking of you and I am thankful that you made it through so far! You can do this!

    Emmie, I can't imagine what you're going through, but I wanted you to know you're in my thoughts. I really hope that you find the strength and support you deserve, both here and in the counselling.
    Take care of yourself - you're much admired and have been missed

    I haven't been on here for a bit, but I am so glad you are okay. I always enjoy your posts. Please pay attention to what the others have said. You are much to important to all of us to act on the dark feelings that sometimes take hold. Hugs and hugs and hugs Nancy
