Believe it or not, just a little over a year ago,
I woke up in ICU after having my stomach pumped and started to cry because I was still alive. I didn't understand why God had spared me when people who value life die every day.Since then, a number of small miracles have come my way just in time to change the whole course of my life. After years of pain and disappointment with psychiatric treatment (much of it brought on by my own ignorance), the events in my life began
to guide me towards the right doctors, the best therapy, a more accurate diagnosis of my severe
mental problems and appropriate medication. As a result, despite the destruction I caused and the
reckoning I must deal with now, my thinking is clear and my depression is gone. And I'm just so greatful, so thankful to not be hopeless and in pain (my personal circumstances are certainly painful, but not nearly as agonizing as the pain that used to radiate relentlessly from inside me),
I do feel the need to try and pull others out of
the pit...it's a way to make use of the suffering that seemed to be so unnecessary in my life.God bless-
Gracie
