This is Patrick, my boyfriend. He saved me. I technically met him through a friend. She was skyping with him when I was with her, and all I thought was “DAAAAYUUM!”. I was definitely hesitant to talk to him though, being as it was her friend. She told me they had a past, so I figured forget it. I sorta just forgot about him. About a month later, on facebook, I saw his picture pop up on the “People You May Know”. I decided to add him. He instantly accepted and messaged me, asking for my number. At first, I didn’t give it to him, I didn’t want to upset my friend. I told her about it though, and she told me to go for it. We started texting and instantly clicked. He flirted with me, and I of course flirted back. While this was all going on, I was also going through a lot mentally. I had just got out of a mental hospital for attempt suicide. I was on depression medications and going through therapy. As Patrick and I got more serious, the better I got. The less suicide entered my mind. The more living sounded great to me. He made me see, and feel, something I thought only existed in fairy tales. We’ve only been together 5 months, but it’s enough for me to know I’m in love with this kid, and I will do everything in my grip to keep him mine. Now having him in my life, I can’t imagine NOT having him. I’m no longer on prozac (depression/anxiety) medication, and I’m only going to therapy once every 4 weeks, instead of once a week. I can’t thank god enough for bringing him and I together <3
