I'm going to try one more time to get better for myself, not for anybody else this time just for myself.
Imagine waking up in a hospital bed after a desperate attempt to end your life, only to find yourself alive and furious that your 'do not resuscitate' orders were ignored. That's exactly what happened to Sarah Gray Perez in January 2020. After consuming a gallon of tequila and 600 pills, Sarah was ready to give up on life. Her journey, filled with mental and physical illnesses, multiple suicide attempts, and separation from her family, seemed hopeless.
But Sarah's story didn't end there. In this powerful episode of 'Recovery Hour', host Lori Windfeldt sits down with Sarah to talk about her incredible path to recovery. Sarah opens up about her struggles with borderline personality disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and more. She shares how she found herself in and out of treatment facilities and separated from her husband and child for years. But amidst the darkness, there were glimmers of hope.
Sarah credits the power of prayer and the support from strangers on social media for pulling her through a five-day coma with her faculties intact. Lori and Sarah delve into heavy topics like grief, loss, and the impact of trauma. They also discuss the importance of self-love and self-worth in the recovery process.
