I did it.... I moved back into my "suicide room" which is no longer my "suicide room " it's my room. My room where I can cry, I can panic, I can faint, I can stay awake for weeks, I can have nightmares, traumatic dreams and reminders...... it's my room I can feel whatever I want. HOWEVER what I will not feel is defeat, hopeless, shallowness, failure.... I am making this a new room. A room where I can be sad but I can learn to be happy someday. Where I can dance again. Where I can look at my photo albums and laugh instead of cry. My new room that shows me life is beautiful and no matter how bad it gets, my room will never be the "suicide room " EVER again!!! 


It took strength to move back in. It scared me, flooded back memories and tears. 


It was so worth it

I'm proud of you and what you're saying, putting those memories in their place means replacing them with much more better memories. Blessings and gladness.

You go girl, and like you said, never again will that be a suicide room, it's your "future" room, your "success" room, your "get back to life" room!!! Congrats on this major success, be well and continue on this positive journey in the right direction.
