Wanting to Live Again

I just want to take this opportunity to say THANKS! to everyone who gave me words of encouragement and support recently when I was off my meds and considering the "S" option. Though things still are not great I feel like I am doing a little better and have stopped listening to the "voices".
Every Wednesday evening I go visit my husband in a county jail that is 2 and a half hours away and this was the first time in awhile I was able to drive back without the "voices" telling me to drive into on coming traffic specifically semi-trucks. The "voices" always tried to get me to reason that way would be the quickest.
Anyway thanks again you guys are AWESWOME!!

I remember the moment (in the hospital last summer) when we were having "outdoors time" and I saw the sun setting and realized that I was glad to be alive.

It's a beautiful moment, isn't it?

Yay! you're doing great!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
