Hey, everyone.

I've had a week, one of the worst perhaps of my life. Spent the last seven days in the hospital. The first in the emergency room, I overdosed, and it was intentional. The other six days I spent in a psychiatric ward.

I don't really know what to say, but just that I wanted to say that it happened.

This forum has been really, really wonderful in its support, but things had been getting harder for me, and I just reached a point of feeling without hope. I would say this: if you're feeling at that point just get that help. Do whatever it takes to get you there. I'm glad I had the choice to admit myself after my o.d. Circumstances could've gone elsewhere and well...

Don't take mental illness lightly. The biggest mistake that I made is that I was afraid of being too open with my psychiatrist. If I hadn't only told one half of the problems that were bugging me I might have gotten the appropriate medication (which I have now) and I could've received different therapy.

I'm so glad to be alive right now.
