Hun, I'm not sure that it was "my" strength that pulled me out of it. It was Jerry calling the crisis team and getting me into a behavioral hospital!!

The "inmates" have a large portion of the credit there! WOW!! When I think of it!! My first hour there, one suicidal girl saw me during smoke time and came to me, lifted my face with her two hands and just smiled! She just smiled! You wouldn't believe how validated I felt! Still sends shivers up my spine!! I swear she was an angel sent from heaven to me! I never got her name... Then there was semi-young man, (LOL I don't know how young/old he was) named Scottie... He made me laugh so hard one night, I wound up sitting on the floor! Dear, dear Scottie... I'll never forget him!

You're so right, though!! I never would have met you!!
