DAY 17

Yesterday was a tough one. I heard that a young person I know and am quite fond of is in hospital on a respirator as she tried to commit suicide on Valentines Day. I knew she had been having a hard time recently but I thought she had turned the corner but I suppose being on you own on a special day can be hard when your self esteem is so low. Normally I would have tried to make sense of it all inside a glass of wine but had coke with a dash of lemon juice and although the sadness is still there I dont feel ill on top of it.
