i went to the hospital 1/6/10....i was contemplating suicide and called a hotline..and when i came out i realized how much i have to live

i was hospitalized a second time in 9/21/10-10/5/10 everytime i leave i feel refreshed and better and hopeful

after this suicide attempt in April i was in the hospital for 5 days and they gave me depakote and ive never felt so stable in my life
