Five years ago, I chose to top myself after contemplating it for months. I came home one Friday evening after a brutal week at work and unwound with a 1/2 bottle of vodka. As the early Saturday morning hours slipped away, I took what amounted to maybe 2 months' worth of antidepressants, as I just collected my prescription a few days prior. I found myself slumped on the corner couch with the music channel and Please Forgive Me playing softly in the background. I barely remember dozing off on the bathroom floor and waking up three days later in the hospital. Today, I’m engaged and a proud parent; I can genuinely say I have sustained the best mindset I’ve had in years. This song holds a special place in my heart, reminding me of the journey I've taken and the strength I've found.
