Finally Out Of The Grave**** By CaitieAnjel

Hey everyone! For those you that know me, things have not been easy the past few years. I was diagnosed with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) after being raped, the roots of my depression grew deeper, my anxiety levels went higher than they ever had, I gained 80 pounds in a matter of 3 months, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and I was stuck. I became suicidal and just wanted to give up. There were nights when I pleaded with God to just let me die. But alas, I am still here.

It all started the summer before my senior year of high school, so I couldn't go to school. But lately I turned it all around. I literally woke up one day and decided I couldn't let my life keep going on like this. 2 years of lying on the couch watching t.v. and I just couldn't do it anymore. So, I got my GED with high scores in English and Social Studies. I just recently started a part-time job where they are willing to work with me and my schedule and my weaknesses. And I start college next month. I feel like I've crawled out of my grave. I feel reborn. And it feels amazing.

Anyway, I just wanted to gloat a little bit. Give myself a little praise. I think I deserve a little bit. =) Thanks to all of you who have helped me and inspired me and listened to me gripe and groan. You know who you are. *big hugs* And thank you to everyone who's helped, inspired, and listened to anyone who needed you. I guarantee that it meant a lot to them or that it will mean a lot. =D And thanks for taking the time to read this! I know it's a little dull, but hey ... At least ya got through it, right? =P

*hugs* CaitieAnjel

I am so much happier! I feel like my life is going somewhere and that I have a purpose. I can actually smile and laugh. I feel like I've blown away the dust that's covered me. =D
