Yes, when I was 10 years old I was placed in a foster care at that time. I was appointed a child care worker at the time, through cps. My child care worker had helped me raise my self esteem and self confidence. When I was 14, my mom was going to send me to a psychiatric hospital, but my child care worker at that time, took me in to live with her and her family, this would be my 4th foster home. I had to go to court when I was 14 and tell the judge I didn't want to live with my 'family' anymore. So the judge appointed for my childcare worker, to become my foster parent. She had worked with me to gain self confidence, esteem, and to get out in about the community. I started feeling good about myself and started to do well in school, going to the gym, doing things that I loved to do. I stayed with that family for 5 years. I am truly grateful for that family to help me, and save me, from myself. I am 34 now.

You know I believe very strongly that my oldest son saved my life. Before I got pregnant with him I was into drugs and leading a very bad life and didn't care what would happen to me. When I found out I was pregnant it sent me for a loop and I got out of that lifestyle. I have been clean for almost 8 years now and I lead a pretty good life. It is still tough but I at least I know I am past that point in my life now.

I don't know where i'd be without my boyfriend. After my last relationship, i went through a long period of depression where i just kind of gave up on everyhing. I didn't necessarily want to die,or anything, but I wasn't really LIVING either, like i just didn't care anymore. But now i have something to care about again; someone who needs me just as much as i need him. And for the first time in a long time i feel like my life means something and i know it does to him because he doesn't know where he'd be without me. So i guess we kind of saved each other's lives, in a way.

The nurse at my doctor's office saved my life emotionally.
For months, I had this horrible depression. I couldn't sleep or eat, my muscles were tense, and I felt so anxious that I couldn't function. I lost so much weight, and I was tired of living.
Then, she listened to me and told me that it was all just clinical depression and anxiety and got me the treatment I needed to get better.
I still hug and thank her when I have appointments.

I know it's trite and sappy, but they changed me and the way I see the world.
