I've come to celebrate one of my early hospitalizations as a victory, with a cupcake and everything. My family sings happy birthday for this one because it actually saved my life... by preventing me from taking it. I know this is contrary to the advice others have given. But the love that they give me really cements how I need to stay here and beat this garbage. I even have an app on my phone that counts up from my previous hospitalization to remind me of how long I've been able to hold it back. It may be different for you. But why not try to draw power from it?

I know that on the September 23, I'll be celebrating my next Life Day. I'll think of you on the 25th, @SlumberKitty.
