to prevent my suicide.
I was afraid of the future. I was sure it would be intolerable. I was in clinical depression and full of anxiety. I could not sleep. My mind burned for lack of sleep. Finally I realized that I had no control over the future. I decided to let it happen what ever it would be. I had a vision that I would go through what ever needed to be and that I would survive. That vision and positive thinking got me to a better place. I still have it.
