8 months and I'm still here.

It has been 8 months and Life couldn't be more of struggle for me.
On March 25,2011 My best friend saved my life
He pushed me to get the help I needed, without him I wouldn't be here today.
From day one when I was admitted into Abbott Northwestern Hospital, I've had a better time dealing with what problems I face. There I learned how to control my urges, How to handle different situations, and when to just walk away. At Abbott Northwestern, I struggled the first couple of days, crying and having my melt downs, and just feeling isolated. Until we branched out into our groups, I finally opened up. There I met the most amazing people, and to this day we still keep in touch. They understood me, the way no one else ever could.They helped me through a lot, with a constant reminder that from this day forward no matter where we are, they will catch me when I fall.
It was three in the morning when I was finally admitted into the building, but the hours before that were the most difficult for me. In the emergency room is where it all hit me. Seeing patients being rushed into the hospital scared me. I cried in my moms arms, and in that moment I realized things were about to get real. In the hospital I learned a lot about myself, about who I am, and what I stand for.
