I graduated from high school and moved to a college town in Ontario....a completely new environment. The professors, students and curriculum are all new to me. On top of that....I felt so far behind compared to the other students.  So I started to lose interest in studying. There were probably other factors at play but ...I got to a point I felt like I didn't want to go on with my life! So I swallowed two bottles of aspirin and was sent to the hospital, without telling my family.  I told my friend who is now with Restart's caregivers group. She came to my dorm and picked me up. I stayed with her for the weekend....It was a long journey working on my mental health. I thank God for the many friends, my therapists that were sent my way. For the past twenty years, I have been working and thriving with the support of my community of friends and co-workers...still taking my medication but being gratefully here... one day at a time.
