Hi Danielle, You'll get there one day soon again. Remember the walk to the park? First things first. Good Luck with having the stitches taken out tomorrow. Start making a list of things you want to see, starting with the simplest. When you are ready to take that step we'll be with you. Crossing off all your goals one by one, never looking back to where you've been but to where you are going. Stay Positive Danielle but most of all Believe. Believe in yourself. You are safe. You can and will do this one day :) xx

I have faith you can, in my early 20s i suffered sever anxiety/depession and agoraphobia wouldnt leave the house for months or my room for that matter, and only to the dr's kicking and screaming cause if not they were gonna pick me up and put me away and i couldnt have my parents see that so i went screaming. Anway everyday I would walk out the house, down the stairs legs shaking and to the fence then back into my room, and here and there I would make it a little further, in full blown panic but i did it and you can too xo. :)

in reply toMpa5524

Thats exactly what i did i started making it to the mailbox then the sidewalk even to the park. How are you now,are you able to go places

awsome see :) now im 39 and this time it hit me different, I have full blown health anxiety, past few months have been a spiral but alot has happened which led to why this happened, but i do work and go out everyday, for some reason I cant stay home this time, I think cause it brings me back to what I went through almost 20 years ago, so now I just need out if that make sensel

Mpa5524 in reply to

you will its tough believe me I know but just keep talking to yourself in your head saying well if I pass out so what someone will find me, thats how I used to do it. I also had great support and friends that would pick me up take me for a ride and if i said i cant do this they would bring me right back home.. every step helps.

Hi,

Remember, don't be so hard on yourself. We all have blips and we all need to focus on the good things we have acheived and know that it will happen again. You had that great walk in the park. It will happen again.

Focus on the fact that you can and will get there again. Good luck for tomorrow.

Now to give you some light entertainment, at my expense I have a job "yeah, go me". So on Thursday I am going into work in my snazzy steel toe-capped boots and as I am going over the walkway to the main door I trip. So I do the swim in mid0air thing when you think you are going to keep standing up but the arms and legs are going as you keep heading for the ground. Not only did I hit the ground on my hands and knees, but I did a slidy thing for a little bit. "Ouch!!" Trust me. Now for the funny bit, I ended up asking for a first aider cause I could feel one of my wrists and my knee was sore. The first aider checks my wrists and knees and does the report. A couple other first aiders come in to see what's going on and they head out to get an ice pack. Then supervisors and coming in and out. There is me with my foot up on a chair, trouser rolled up. The first aider comes back muttering because there was no ice-packs, but he has a bag of peas in my hand. So there I was for a bit with peas on my leg. It worked though, I have no bruise on that knee. I should have put it on both knees because My other knee is still bruised. :-D

So I'm the newbie who took a tumble at work. If I'd know they were just going to get me a bag of peas I would have gone and sat in the freezer part of the warehouse. :-D

Yes it is okay to laugh at my antics, because I am.

You are going to do well tomorrow getting your stitches out and remember keep focusing on the future and what you can do, we all have twists and turns on our journeys and it is okay to get frustrated with it, but never give up. Keep looking forward. I know you can do this.

Take care.

X

😂😂 lol im glad you didn't get hurt but peas though hahaha. I missed you congrats on the job

Are you able to use the sleeping medication as a last resort? Can you attempt to see the scenes even if its for 5 minutes or less 30 seconds? We want things so bad we gotta attempt to chase them buddy fight through this see if they will allow you to attempt viewing scenary BEFORE injecting medication

in reply tokevoreally

My last attempt to go on a ride was horrible it was as if i was going into shock. So they'll put me to sleep and my therapist will be present since i will be outmy comfort zone. He considered my state to be too fragile at the moment some triggers i will not be able to handle them so they won't take any chances...... like Agora1 said i will get there

You will get there. In the mean time do something that makes you happy. Binge watch Netflix, play a game, etc. take it one day and one step at a time. There’s a goal, but appreciate all the steps to get there.

in reply toChristory77

I made a list of goals i want to accomplish. Right now im relaxed and watching Christmas movies and cartoons on Netflix, its really calming

Hello everyone. I was asked by Danielle's family to just please pray for her. It doesn't look good. That's all I know. I'm sorry.

Hi Isabelle

Are you in touch with Danielle's parents? I saw your replies responding to another post and gathered there's a problem. I hope she's ok.

There are so many on here who care about her. Can you please advise her progress if it's ok with her folks? Worrying and praying for Danielle 🙏

in reply toStruggling777

She is still with us. I really apologize for keeping you waiting. I've been stressed and sleeping weird odd hours. I'm so sorry. Yes I'm in touch with her sister via text messaging and live. A bit of a language barrier. Heavy Portuguese accent. I'm trying you guys. But she is still here. Starting to look up

Thank you. So is something sketchy going on?

in reply to

I Skype her sister this morning she finally answered im not trying to judge Dani God knows why she did this to herself. But her sister's face looked so hurt her mom could barely say hi back. No one should put their family through this pain

in reply to

Ok so is she still with us

in reply to

Yes, do you have skype or any other video apps, she can show you Dani

in reply to

I asked about her being awake or not and sis said asleep but that was early the morning

in reply to

She's still not awake i only saw her on the bed and her mom laying by her hand

in reply to

I havent seen my girl.

in reply to

How does she look?

in reply to

Question, how do you all feel about seeing Dani in that horrible condition watching on Skype. I myself decided I couldn't do it. Wouldn't want to remember her that way. But everyone is different and different things help them

in reply to

I have fb messaging

in reply to

Can you video chat on it

in reply to

I have Skype but never used before. Is it easy to figure out?

in reply to

Do you know her STATUS? Please tell me or pm me thx

in reply to

No one should be put through this pain I understand. But no one should have to suffer so much more pain every second of her life. So much pain she goes through the horrendous act of ending her life. You have to be in so much pain, the most unbelievable unbearable pain to go through with ending your life by choice. No suicidal person in that much pain has the capability to worry about who gets hurt. The pain is so bad it wins. Ugh imagine that.

Dani multiracial though but yeah her sister have a stronger accent than Dani

in reply toMpa5524

Dani and her family are Brazilian. Yes it was very hard for me to understand her sister. You're a hero. I've read your convos with Dani and I told her to stick with you. I have a good feeling about you❤. Right now I do not know the status of Dani and I'm freaking out a bit

in reply toMpa5524

I have a serious question to all...did Dani ever mention she felt weird being back home after the first attempt and treatment center stay?

Mpa5524 profile image
Mpa5524 in reply to

the only thing she said to me was a day she got home after getting her stitches out we talked for a little while she seems fine and then she said she was having anxiety didn't want to tell me about it cuz he don't want to ruin my day or trigger me so I told her to get a little fresh air and then I didn't hear from her again

in reply toMpa5524

Can I pm you

in reply toStruggling777

Hiya, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I'm flooded with questions which is totally fine, but I honestly don't know much any more. I've reached out to Diana several times. No response. Last I knew it looked hopeful. But things can change quickly and I am so scared not knowing what's going on. I love that girl! I'm her big sister.

Mpa5524

Oh no this is so sad I spoke to her for a little bit the day before she went to get her stitches removed and then again the day she came home and she had anxiety but didn't sound this bad. Keeping her in my prayers

in reply toMpa5524

Me too. I read some of your correspondence with Dani and I told her I liked you. You have been there

Yes what her sister said is true but earlier she advised me to only ask for prayers and do not give details

Oh yea, tell me about it. This am my psychiatrist wanted to hospitalize me bc I'm getting no support from anyone

Exactly. I don't understand. She was so excited to stay at my house for Christmas

DOES ANYONE KNOW HER STATUS????

My prayers to her..

Every time I spoke with Dani she was always happy and laughing and she is so hysterical I laughed so hard Dani said something so funny, wish I could remember, I started to pee my pants in the kitchen lol I told her stop I was peeing, grabbing paper towels stuffing them down my pants. Lmao. I'm an extremely depressed person. I haven't laughed in years! I do the "fake" laugh. Dani gave me the gift of laughter and fun back into my life. Shit im crying

Not sure if she told y'all that she was coming up here to Rochester N.Y. and stay with me for christmas. I was super excited since I spend it alone most years. She and Diana both told me the travel plan. I was amazed and thought it would really happen after all. I started buying little Christmas gift stocking stuffers for Dani and saving them in a dresser drawer. She was so EXCITED. She was going to bring the ugly sweaters. I thought that was so fun! Never done it before. I would have ugly socks for us. She would prob see snow. It would have been a nice Christmas. But if she pulls through this...it will be a miraculous Christmas ❤❤❤❤❤

Isabelle lovely it's been very tough for you. It's only people who understand depression and how it makes you feel who would see that Danielle had no wish to hurt her family and friends, only tried to get rid of her own pain. I'm sad for you and your plans but there is still hope. Please look after yourself too 🙏

It is out of our hands now. I think we need to respect the family's space right now. I'm sure when they are ready to update us, they will.

The hardest thing for us right now is patience. x
