    Think About Suicide A Lot

    A few years ago, I was heavily medicated, in therapy, and a danger to myself. Tried to commit suicide twice. And wound up in the hospital. Twice. I've come a long way.

    Knowing All About Emotional Sickness, But Nothing About The Physical

    So I have been pretty sick lately. I am anemic and just got out of the hospital 3 weeks ago. Apparently I was getting sick for years, but who knew? Everybody was just so quick to blame me.

    So Didn't Expect This! In The Hospital..

    So, where do I even begin?? I guess from the beginning. I have felt tired everyday of my life for a good couple years now. Which isn't fun let me tell you.

    Can't Keep Blinds Open At Night...

    A couple months ago I was talking with a coworker. And he shared with me that he has PTSD. And it took me back. Mostly because he said it so easily.. But I was torn. Should I tell him or keep it to myself. Obviously I'm still unsure lol. What would you do? I wouldn't tell him why I have it...
