At 3.38 this day 2 years ago I was pulled from the wrong side of a bridge by policemen.

I have worked bloody hard to sort my head out.

I have put on nearly 6 stone (and counting) through meds.

I am allowed to live with DD alone Grin

I'm doing bloody good

Such a lovely thing to read! Made me smile Grin

You are amazing!!

DD is snoring away next to me, I want to squish her with love! I was so close to losing her, and the rest of my family.

I have been so lucky that my family (after a break from me) gave me another chance. Mumsnet helped me too, when I was homeless I was sent some clothes by a lovely user of the site, I have them aside to pass on to someone else in need now.

I just hope I can keep Level

Well done. You are amazing and should be so proud of yourself. It's a bloody hard, long and lonely road and you've done it Flowers

callmehannahbaker · 31/05/2017 04:27

I'm still on the road, I know that, but it's another bridge I've crossed knowing I actually like life. And it's a HUGE one!

So very pleased for you and sending best wishes for the fabulous future you will have with your DD.

PulyaSochsup · 31/05/2017 04:47

It's a bloody awful road, but making the choice to live is a brave one. Please, be very kind to yourself and your little girl and remember that you deserve to be alive and for happiness to be part of what you give and receive. Well done, it took immense bravery to accept help. Keep going and let yourself heal.

callmehannahbaker · 31/05/2017 04:53

I'm being really kind to myself-got my first haircut in 3 years booked for next week-very nervous!

callmehannahbaker · 31/05/2017 04:55

And I bought myself 2 tops from a charity shop in the size I am now (I've been ignoring my weight gain and living in 2 tops and one pair of jeans)
