Well... it's been a very difficult last few months. It took an especially unpleasant experience in the ICU for me to understand that I don't want to go back there. If you've never awakened, not knowing where you are nor what day it is with a tube down your throat, hands tied, feeling like...

    Thank you so much for posting your experience.  It sounds horrific, and your honesty about what occured prior, during and post is not only informative and supportive to those of us trying to seek treatment, but of essential reading to the professionals out there who take the oath  "First do no harm..."

     

    I am so very sorry this all occured for you, and yet I am so proud of you for continuing to reach out even after you had put your plan into action.

     

    Your voice is a stong and essential voice to be heard, and frankly, I would like to see your words posted on all billboards around the country for others to see and understand the severity and toll of mental illness for it to be taken seriously when it is wrongly shrugged off or dismissed.

     

    Expressing ourselves is so very difficult, if not impossible, when experiencing  depressoion and feeling suicidal. 

     

    Please, keep us posted on your recovery as you discover what works for you and if the support you are now receiving continues to be useful to you.

     

    I am very grateful you are still here.

     

    Best,

    Kimberly Tyler

     Sleeping Kitty On Monitor Animals know what we need most. They can sense when we need love or when we just want to play. I have worked with animals to save them from death. The shelter has so many animals to share love unconditionally. I so glad you are ok. I have not heard from you in a long time. I still miss talking to you and others. People help people more than they know in life. God bless you and please hang in there and type if at anytime. callmetroubles@comcast.net I always around and I would love to hear from you.
