Hi!! I’m here to share my story. I left my home for university but stayed in my home town with my boyfriend. We had a small one bedroom flat, worked part time bar jobs and studied. We both suffered from depression. But we were able to hold each other through it. At times, it was harder to manage.
My boyfriend committed suicide and I was broken. I started using drugs and drinking alcohol every day. I even attempted suicide but was saved by my friends. So I kept a distance from friends and family. I was put antidepressants by my GP but he did not push me to have therapy. After continuing this for almost 3 years, I thought of starting afresh. I hadn’t felt happy for so long and I hated the person I had become. I tried to give up drugs and alcohol but I failed many times. I felt guilt and I decided to end my life again. This time I survived because of my family. My GP suggested undergoing suicidal thoughts treatment therapy from Toronto (http://www.cbtassociates.com/about-you/problems-addressed/depression/) and I agreed. My family is of great support and I think I should do this for them. I have no idea regarding this treatment. Can anyone share your views? Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks!!
