How To Save A Life?

What do you try when you’ve tried everything you can think of to save your daughter?
Where do you go when you’ve gone to
everyone and every agency you can think of?  Who do you appeal to when you’ve even
written letters to TV programs and
government agencies? 
My daughter Kryssy was diagnosed with
bipolar depression and anxiety when she was around 25 years old and suffers from
incredible head pain and severe depression. 
Over the years, she has been to numerous
doctors who have prescribed drug after drug
after drug.  She has gone to various mental
health clinics and has been in and out of
Rockford Center multiple times over the years and the system never allows her to be treated long enough to get well. When none of these methods were working, Kryssy turned to
smoking marijuana, taking pain pills and
eventually became a heroin addict to try and
stop the pain and darkness she was feeling
 That is usually the end of the story, but Kryssy kept fighting.
Back in 2014 Kryssy came out of Rockford
Center after three weeks of treatment.  They
said “you’re all better now”, but she knew the
demons would return…  She needed to get
away from the local bad influences in her life.  My family and I paid for her to receive
treatment in Florida for two years while she
lived with my sister there.  She did beat the
heroin, but was put on Methadone which is
usually another lifelong addiction.  She
returned back home to us and after seven
months she said “mom I don’t wanna do
methadone anymore. I hate it”.  So
Kryssy fought to beat that too and as of today she is over five years clean from heroin and
four and a half years clean from methadone.
My daughter is strong and a fighter.  She
wants good things in her life and for her
children, but the key to her mental anguish has not been found and she needs more treatment to find the source of her pain.  We are unable
to pay for all the costs of prolonged mental
health treatment and currently the doctors
suggest a six month program.  We are humbly asking for help to get my daughter treatment.  It is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.  If you
can find it in your heart to help save my
daughter’s life I will pay it forward!  Thank you for your help and thank you for listening and
please share this post as often as possible.
