I was utterly alone going through treatment. I have few friends and no family. However, my psychiatrist looked out for my medical wellbeing and literally did save my life when symptoms of a complication (a knot in my colon) were ignored. You can get through your challenge. Just take it in baby steps.
Keep posting. I'll keep answering.

I find this post incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing a bit of your story, difficult though it must have been. You got through it. I was just sharing somewhere else something about goals or something and I said my goal is to sleep tonight. That's it. Baby steps. One foot in front of the other. I don't worry about all that other stuff. I can't. I just do what's right in front of me. It seems to be working because I am still alive.
