My week

The last two months has been horrible for me, my depression and anxiety became worse. Two weeks ago I attempted suicide which I wasn't thinking straight but just wanted to end my life for many reasons and I had a bottle of bleach and drank some of it. I was at the Emergency room all of that sunday night, with my heart acting weird and many fluids going into my body. I was really depressed and I thought that I may actually committ suicide but instead I got help and was at a mental hospital for nine days. I am finally home, doing better but today I am depressed and just thinking about the things I should be thankful for and I am looking for some better friends who wouldn't use or hurt me.

Thank you for sharing. Toughness is in how much you overcome. Pain can overcome reason, but thankfully you got help and keep fighting on. That is inspiring. You can message me, if you want. We need more honest encouragement in this world. Thank you and God Bless.

I am sorry you have been going through such a rough time! Depression and anxiety are such hard things to fight through sometimes. I am so so glad you reached out for help. I know it is sometimes are to see, but your life matters so much; it is precious. You have things yet to do in this life that only you can do with the gifts/talents you were given. You are beautiful.
I am proud of you for thinking positively, focusing on things you are thankful for and reaching out to good supports. We all need each other and we all need to be carried through hard times with encouragement. I encourage you to write down the things you are thankful for each day (maybe have a goal of 7 things to write down?) so you can look back and see how you were blessed even through the hard times. This exercise was huge for me when I struggled through a season of my life.
one day at a time!! :)

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
