Hey everyone. It's been almost two weeks or so since I've been on here. I wanted to issue a huge apology to all of those I've talked with in the depressionate state I was in before Jan 11th. I'm really sorry for acting like I did.

On Jan 11th, I did take an overdose of tylenol. I told my mother, and she took me to the ER. I ended up staying in ICU from Jan 11th, until Jan 17th. I was then placed in a crisis unit from then, until late Sunday afternoon.

Given the time I was in the hospital away from computers, family and etc...I've learned that suicide is really not the answer. I was able to talk to some really cool people during my stay, and now that I'm out, I will start therapy Tuesday.

Honestly, I do not want to ever go (also I do not want to put my family) through this again. Computer forums have their place, but its even better to talk to someone face to face.

Thank you all for who have been praying for me.

Thank you for this post, however I really don't see anything you need to apologize for. You were in a really tough situation, and you did the best you could while dealing with that.

I am really glad that you have gotten and are receiving help. I have been in a similar situation that you are in, so I can relate. You are definitely correct that talking with real people in real life can make a huge difference that the internet can not supplement.

I'm really glad that you are seeking help and that you have come to that conclusion And you are right - internet forums can be helpful but it can never replace face-to-face professional help when you are struggling.

Glad to hear you are ok
