Because I was asked to...

laurainMI · March 2011

Last week I had a couple of dark days, which resulted in me overdosing and ending up in the ER.

I started seeing a counselor a few months back for depression. Overtime she diagnosed me with a personality disorder, which causes strong emotional reactions. It's nice to have a name for it, because that makes it fixable and managable. She's working with me to learn better coping skills for this, so I don't have these reactions.

She was very proactive with me after my last session, and we created a plan incase I get in that position again.

I have a long road ahead of me, and am thankful to everyone who has offered me support with this. If anyone has questions, feel free to PM me.

I read your blip about having friends who care to pick you up, and wondered, but didn't want to pry. Glad you have a plan and what sounds like a great support system.

This! I feel so out of the loop. Didn't know you were going through all of this! Thinking of you!

I wasn't "here" yesterday, so I missed this. I wanted to offer my support as well. Let me know if you ever need to talk!

Laura, in addition to what everyone's already said, I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to share your story with our little community here on the web. It may be somewhat anonymous, but I hope you know how much we all care. I will be praying for you.
