An anniversary

Writer's picture: DougDoug

Happy Survivor day!! 2 years ago today I was hanging from a rafter by an electrical cord with 80% oxygen saturation. A few minutes more and I wouldn’t be writing this. I wouldn’t see my children or my mum, wouldn’t have heard my first grandchild say her first word or feel the sun on my back or the rain on my face. 2 years has been hell, it’s been heaven. I cannot begin to describe the struggles I have had in the 2 years. I’d be lying if I said I woke up in hospital a new man. It’s taken determination, hard work and courage to get where I am today. That’s not to say I’m well. I’m better, I’m learning to live with the idea of permanent recovery from EUPD. I still make mistakes, I still say things I don’t mean to but I am improving. I am@living proof that it’s possible to come back from near disaster and triumph in the end. #eupdrecovery #eupdawareness #suffolkmind #andysmanclub #mensmentalhealth #suicideprevention #recovery #reset #goagain
