Please take the time to read this. How does it make you feel?

Personally for me, it made me cry when I read it. I remember what it was like to sit before the pill bottles wanting to end my life but fearful to do so at the same time. I really didn't want to die but I was too scared to live.

They say your life flashes before your eyes when you're about to die and mine did too that night. I remembered the pain and what I lost and all that I will never be again. But then I remembered too the day my baby girl was born, seeing her for the first time, I fell in love instantaneously. 

I remembered too my parents and my friends, and all the memories we've made, remembering how important they are to me. I remembered. And in doing so, I remembered I liked to breathe.

I share this with you because maybe you need to be reminded today too. Hitting rock bottom doesn't mean that your life is over! It means you have the chance to start again. Hitting bottom is the perfect place to decide no more and to start making your life the life you need for you. Are you at the bottom yet? How long have you been there? Is today the day you remember how much you like to breathe?

I too have thought seriously about ending the pain, but I can't because the pain has taken over and has become my body. If I could kill the pain but not kill my body I would gladly to that but I can't. Everyday I am devoured by pain and everyday I have to remember that I'm staying for my daughters and my immediate family, they are the only reasons. I have slowly but surely withdrew from everything on my past so now I all I have to focus on is them. Sorry if this confusing but it's impossible to know where my body stops and the pain begins or where the pain begins and my body stops.
