10 years ago my little brother died by his own hand, ever since then I have been diagnosed for bipolar and have been living with depression. It all got too much for me 6 weeks ago and I took a whole bottle of xanax, luckily my friend found me and called an ambulance. I have been taking effexor ever since and realise what I did hurt alot of people and I am glad to be alive today.



Thank god for your friend! I am so glad that you are here with us today. I am so sorry about your brother. I cannot imagine how much pain and hurt you have been through. When it all gets to be too much, please do reach out. You are not alone.
