" Although what happened to me was unfair , I had already learned by now that life is not fair . Therefore , my resilience told me that I would not go down without a fight ".
wife and kids . I was alone and pregnant . My life suddenly , once again , began to spiral out of control .
The OB-GYN took away my medications for Bipolar disorder that were a danger to my unborn child . The doctor did not replace them with a medicine that was safe . The mental health facility abandoned me altogether . If I had ever learned anything , it was that medication meant stability . Pins ripped through my stomach . I rushed to the doctor only to learn that I had miscarried and needed to go to the ER . I was devastated .
While in the ER I was told , I was pregnant . I was carrying twins , but somehow , only one survived . I was excited , but I also had other issues such as dealing with Bipolar disorder without my medications .
These issues led to my unraveling . Pregnant and without medication , I had one of my worse nervous breakdowns . I felt like I was an unfit mother . Without medication to think clearly , I took an overdose . After three days in the hospital , I was sent off to another mental health facility . This was a confusing time for me , but my unborn child survived ! After two months of mental hospitalization , I was discharged .
Life had taken a turn for the worse . I moved in with family , left school , and tried to pick up the pieces of my life . A short time later life threw another whirlwind my way when my car flipped on the interstate . My ankle was crushed , and my body was pushed to the trunk , almost ejecting me from the car . Thanks to God ’ s mercy and grace , my unborn child had survived .
