I am opening up about everything

Why? A lot of people can relate and it's a horrible feeling to feel so alone. I'm also proud of what I've overcome and of course couldn't have done it without Christ and God. I'll do it in a timeline. Less stressful lol.

1986-I was born in a tiny town and a tiny hospital in NC

1988-my sister was born. Mom started getting sick. Sister was a premie she weighed about 2lbs. they told mom she wouldn't live but she did (see why you don't listen to doctors who say that). We later moved..

1995-something was wrong with me, they couldn't figure out what....I was put on a drug trial of anti depressants/psychotics/anxieties. I was misdiagnosed a few times.

1996-1999-spent most of the time at the hospital with mom. I did my homework there, made friends there, spent all my free time there. I was later diagnosed with depression and severe anxiety.

2000-all hell broke loose at school. My so called best friend spread rumors about me out of jealousy. Also my first suicide attempt.

2005-almost lost my life to toxicity from Lithium (from the drug trial). My mom saved me. Was thrown into a mental ward >.<

2007-found God, began to fight and stand up for myself. Almost lost my life to Effexor withdrawal as well. I fought hard.

2008-Cymbalta withdrawal began. I've never been through so much hell. I leaned on God with all my might. He got my through in 2009

2009-I'm stronger than ever. I volunteer more, care more, want to help more, and don't take things for granted. I try to be positive all the time because you never know when hell will come back again. I can't stand negative people, you have a choice. You can either drown in your misery or try to make something of it. share your story, volunteer. Feeling sorry for yourself is very selfish.

So much more happened that I didn't type. There's a reason I didn't write about it, a lot is too traumatic. But I got through it.
