Wow, I haven't been on here for over 6 months. That is because I took a nose dive and needed to get more help. Couldn't get back into residential so I was able to live for 4 months at a womens sober house. Though I needed to get my pill use under control, I was overwhelmed with my depression and suicidality. This place, The Path, is in Forest Park, IL and was very helpful. I will say more about that later but just want to take this time to thank Patti Saenz, who saved my life by giving me a bed there. I wish all depressed folks could access services like yours, Patti!

Just wanted to say hello!
