Hi to all my new friends
I have read many of the old posts and try to keep up to date with current issuses. I would just like to try and share my recent experence with you, like I suppose many of you my public persona is bright, cheerful, postive, upbeat and of course everything is Fine, Will be Fine, worried? no not me. Well last night was spent in the ER at the hospital with me having taken half a bottle of temazapam, worse than that I took them while on the phone to by best friend, who is the only one who knows all the details of my cancer. My husband is blind with advanced prostate cancer, my mum is 80 and I thought that I could carry all their loads as well as my own, I WAS WRONG. So please if anyone out there is tying to shoulder a load to heavy, please, please find someone to help you. It may seem ironic that with one breath I am trying to survive and in the next breath I am trying for suicide. This has not been an easy post for me, but if it helps just one person out there to avoid what I have been through in the last 24 hours then it has all been worth it.
Thanks to all who share their thoughts, let us hope that the power of friendship across the world can be of benfit to us all.
Helen.
