I wasn't supposed to wake up this morning. I took a lot of pills last night. I woke up at 7 am got up and went to work this morning.I havn't left the house before 10 am in months. got a lot of work done today. I can't believe I let my self get so low. I'm turning my self destruct switch off. I'm sorry I didn't try to get some help from my friends here. I feel like I'm getting another chance. please forgive me for my last post.

I had a similar experience where I tried to connect a vacuum hose to my jeeps exhaust. DIdn't work cause i had air coming in from the heater. Moved the jeep in the garage, close the door and left the vehicle running. Woke up 3 hours later disgusted only to find out that the hose had fallen off the exhaust and the one metal part prevent the garage door from closing all the way. They sent my ass to the ward for a month over that one and it cost me $200 for a new hose :(
Still around though.

glad you all failed. It is not a good idea to be posting what you tried and how you did it.
