I survived my suicide attempt of October 23, 2008. I must admit that it has not been an easy road and I know it will get better. I was a victim of bullying in the workplace by my supervisor. I had worked in a local hospital billing department for 20 years and I LOVED my job. When I became depressed due to the bullying, my psychiatrist would not allow me to go back to work in my same position. I was heartbroken and I applied for many other jobs within the hospital but I was not able to get another job so I was fired.
I would do all I can to prevent any other person from attempting suicide. I am 58 years old and am currently in therapy and medication. For the most part, I feel good, but there are some rough days tossed in as well. Baby steps.
