karlee, I'm so sorry you're hurting and stressed.

A little over two years ago I was one month sober, my now ex wanted me out, my kids were hysterical, I was having run-on anxiety attacks and hadn't slept in days, and suicide seemed like the best answer. A trip to the nearest emergency room led me to a weekend at a behavioral center for psychiatric evaluations. I was ashamed and depressed at the time, but looking back it was one of the smartest decisions I've made in sobriety.

Please call a hotline or get to an ER if you need help. You deserve the best life has to offer, and there are many people willing to help you if you'll reach out for it.
