I think a little more background information is important for understanding how and why I got through this whole experience... First of all, I should talk about Buddhism and why it helped me get through this whole thing. I would say I'm not very religious but I'm very spiritual and Buddhism is basically my life philosophy. Growing up, my parents encouraged me to explore my options and pursue something if it made sense to me. I researched many different avenues and this(Buddhism) is the one that really clicked. The absolute last thing I would want to do is preach (I HATE that) but I think it's a big part of my recovery process. Some of the main values are compassion and patience (which is something[patience] I really need to work on)...
I try to meditate every day which consists of me trying to calm my mind and recite my mantra "om mani padme hum" which basically translates to "compassion" in Sanskrit.
