YOU are absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I don't even know you but I am SO PROUD of you and what you have done! You are the ultimate inspiration for everyone on this board.

Your words of wisdom above, and YES.. great wisdom has come from your experience.. are words I will come back to over and over again on my journey. I feel the same.. I know somehow that I will succeed this time. I don't know why this time is special, but I know I will. THANK YOU.. for sharing your story with me.

I hadn't thought about it that way but you're right. I had been killing myself in slow motion, then began saving myself in slow motion...very profound, thank you.

Thanks everyone. Your comments mean a lot. I didn't cry writing this but I certainly did last night when I started congratulating myself for getting to this point...!

What an amazing year you have had. Truly amazing. For every person who has posted here in response to your story, I am guessing there was a lurker who is scared, depressed, and at the end of her rope -- until she read your story. I'm guessing you have made a big difference in some lives today by sharing this.
