It was May 26th, 2000... I was very unhappy with my life and it was going nowhere. I felt like my life in general was falling apart and I was losing everything that was precious to me. I was on many medications for anxiety, pain, depression. I decided that there was nothing left for me and yes, I attempted to commit suicide. I believed that GOD would save me because I was deeply apologizing to GOD and the Angels before I went through with my plan. I took 84 pills and drank them down with a large bottle of wine. After 3 hours I was tired and I knew what was coming. My sister was at my house and I told her I was going to lay down. No one knew that I took all those pills and that's how I wanted it. I left my letter of sorry's in my dresser knowing someone would eventually look there. It was midnight and my sister had gone to my bedroom only to find me dead. She called 911 and had my neighbor come over to check my pulse and what not, there was nothing. I was DEAD. I remember darkness, a dark figure pulling me up and then nothing. My sister, the paramedics were above me and that was the end of that, they brought me back. My sister was my angel that night. I will NEVER in a million years pull that again.
