005: Happy To Be Alive

"This one is so hard to share. About 13 years ago, I was SA’d after a night drinking with my best friend. In the aftermath, I developed a severe eating disorder and became deeply depressed and suicidal. I was withering away and was ready to end it all. One night, I decided I had enough and was done living. I called my best friend, and reminded her I love her. Eventually, I was found unresponsive, yet still alive. After vomiting profusely in the ambulance, I was admitted to the psych hospital and underwent intensive therapy. Through therapy, I was able to face major demons and come to terms with what had happened to me. My best friend lost her battle to her demons a years later. Now, 13 years later, I am sober, a mom, a wife, happy to be alive."
