Yes, it is I, the great unbeautiful, back from the (almost) dead. I am sorry it has been so long. I was just released today from the hospital, the psychiatric hospital I should say. I'm sure you all are wondering what the hell happened to me. This is what happened:
On 2/15/11, I sat up and waited for my grandparents to fall asleep. They went to bed shortly before midnight. It was shortly after midnight that I stole the bottle of pills and ran away, leaving a suicide note behind on my pillow. I walked outside in my pj pants, a shirt, a light jacket, and tennis shoes in below freezing weather. I walked a couple miles under the light of the moon. I went into some woods. I sat down on the wet ground and took the pills. I was crying and screaming at God. After a few minutes I calmed down. I laid down on the ground and hoped to fall asleep. What happened next is kind of a a blur. I don't really remember what happened but this next part is what I've been told what happened. My grandparents awoke the next morning to find me missing. They called the cops and then called the rest of my family. A huge search party went out for me, search dogs included. I was even on the news. (When I found that out I was like greeeat..not!) People were calling me and texting me trying to get me to respond. I wouldn't answer. I got a call from my mom's friend's son who is in the National Guard. I actually talked to him. After talking to him, I talked to my mom and dad. My mom kept telling me to make sounds and walk towards the voices. (I guess I had been moving away from them.) I was found around 5 pm on 2/16/11. They had to cut trees to get to me. I was taken to the emergency room and was then transferred to the intensive care unit. I had high levels of toxins in my blood stream. I was sore and stiff from the muscle break down that had occurred from me lying in one position for too long. I was in ICU until 2/18/11 when I was transferred to an adult psychiatric facility. I worked my program there and was discharged today.
That's the short version of the story. I guess I'll fill you in on a few more details. I had family come in from out of town to visit me. I scared a lot of people. I barely ate anything when I was first in the hospital. I weighed less than 102 in the psych ward. I was put on Remeron, a medication with the known side effect of increased appetite and weight gain. I'm sure I gained at least 3 pounds back. I almost purged for the first time in almost 3 years. I made friends with a 33 year old guy. (I know that sounds creepy but it's really not like that.) Now I am home at my grandma and great grandma's house. I'm not really sure how I feel. I'm glad to be out but I'm not glad to be here (as in this house). I'm still not sure if I want to be dead. I just don't feel as depressed right now. I'm
