Somewhat upset I sat down to have a talk with my dad about anxiety meds. He is a vietnam veteran and suffers from very severe PTSD. He shared a story I thought you all might like to hear. He was fed up with life, not knowing what was wrong with him after he got out of the service. He took his 357 and headed out to what he called lookout point in the desert. He was ready to end it. Not far from his destination he ran upon a car stuck in the mud, it was a disabled man missing his legs. The man said to him "I know why you're here" he knew what he was about to do. My dad helped the guy out, towed him to the road, and went home. He told me "son you're here for a reason" and I know this is true, because I myself have had my run ins with death. Just months ago I took 20 somas and an entire 3 month bottle of xanax, and made it out alive. I don't know if I was trying to kill myself, or too fucked up to know what I was doing. Point is be it God, jesus, allah, whatever you wanna call it I think there is someone out there watching over us. Bipolar II, PTSD

"MDJunction has been just an amazing support for me. The people who are on mdj are so nice! Unlike the many other support sites that I have been on. I have made several friends on mdj who are so supportive and so educated about mental illness. Of course non of us are doctors, but we certainly offer each other hugs, opinions, and advice. I have learned a great deal from my friends on mdjunction. I am also encouraging other people who suffer from mental illness to come on to MDJ. It can be a life line." (jenniferdiva)
