Gerber,

Winterbaby had it right - the way out is to go through. It may seem like it will never get better - but it will! I attempted suicide at 16 and was caught and brought to the hospital. I had a year of therapy and then didn't go back.

At 24 I started having severe depression and when I had an anxiety attack so bad that I couldn't get out of my car, I was hospitalized. I was in the hospital something like 5 times in the next year and a half. I thought it would never get better.

I am 42 now. My 30's were a turning point and became the best years of my life. When I turned 40 my life completely changed again and I'm not done trying to figure out why it's changed or what I am suppose to do with it. But having gone through this before, I know it's growing pains and that even though I don't know the message or the lesson now, there is one and once I figure it out I will be a better and stronger person.

Hang on because you CAN do this.

Tranquility
