        I have been following the replies regarding Michelle Crawford. It is a sad story. I want to start at the beginning, with the first post, by her mother. I have tried to find the first posting. Can you tell me where to find the article? Thank you so much,
    [/quote]

    Hi, I'm Michelle's mom.  I just wanted to let you know that the first time I posted in her thread was on page 41.  I just now double-checked to be sure, and hope that helps you.  Thanks for letting me know she has touched your heart.

    Re: Michelle Crawford - Suicide #63

    Sue- I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing Michelle's story. I suffer from borderline personality disorder, as well as crippling anxiety and depression. I just finished reading every page of this thread and feel that I can really relate to Michelle a lot; I wish I could have known her!
    What a beautiful person she was, inside and out.  :-)
    Hearing things from a mother's perspective has made me realize how much it would tear my own mother's heart apart if I were to decide to end my own life.
    There was a particular quote that triggered me to start crying. It was when you and Michelle embraced for a long time after she told you she wished she could be a kid again. I can't tell you how many times I've thought the exact same thing, and I hope to be more open with my mother about my troubles in the future. Just talking about it right now is making me tear up. 
    How lucky she must have been to have such a devoted and loving mother! Thank you for sharing all of the beautiful pictures and memories of Michelle.
    You and your daughter's story has touched me greatly and left a very positive impact. 

    RIP Michelle you vibrant, beautiful girl.    :2grin:

    It is good to know that Michelle's story has impacted you for the good.  Also very good to read that you're hoping to be able to be more open with your own Mom in the future, I know she will appreciate that, even if she doesn't have all the answers (none of us do, right?)  Wishing the best for you & your Mom.  :-)

    Wow. Sue, I don't know how to articulate just how amazing I think you are. I have spent the last 2 days reading this thread cover to cover... what an amazing girl Michelle was and I can honestly say that when the time comes I hope that I am atleast half the mom you are. My mother suffers from severe depression and I have watched her struggle through ups and downs for years. In the back of my mind I always worry she is suffering silently. I think some people are put here to serve a purpose much deeper than SIMPLY living a life.. she has been gone years and in 2010 your daughter and her story have changed me forever. I guess if I make it my goal to change the lives of others in a positive way then Michelle is very much still alive in spirit and the world can continue to be a better place because she was a part of it. I just adore you and your family. XO

    Re: Michelle Crawford - Suicide #63

    First I want to say RIP Michelle and much admiration for her mother. So, to Sue, if you read this please do not be offended by the questions I ask about your daughter. It's evident she was truly a shining star and I just want to better understand her.

    I was wondering if any of you MDSers could help me out. I have spent the last two days reading live journal entries, myspace and all of the scattered back and forth (and sometimes deleted) posts and replies. I am completely confused. One thing was completely crystal clear and that is Michelle was a very intelligent lady who possessed a very fascinating way with words. I must admit, through some of this thread I did skip and scroll -- only when it came to the mindless chatter meant for another thread and arguing.

    Here's where my confusion lies; Michelle mentioned many times of her mania, anxiety and depression. Talks of how her hands shook at work, putting lids on the wrong containers and not having grasps on reality (grasp on reality article here http://www.healthboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=98172 ). It's clear she had mental health issues, that I don't question, however she was not crazy. She was funny, smart and just seemed like such a free spirit. Here's my question: Did she actually need these drugs or was she addicted to these drugs? Or, both? I ask this because reading through her entries she seemed to take anything she could get her hands on. From Adderoll  to Methadone. She claims to suffer from severe anxiety, but some of the drugs she was taking were not meant to treat anxiety and panic attacks. In fact, some could trigger and enhance them. She had a very detailed knowledge of medicines as I read her entries on side-effects. Why would someone who suffered from such anxiety takes drugs that could induce the situation? Yet never seemed to suffer an episode while she was on something, anything.

    Michelle was clearly in love with CJ, no question. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but she never gave any detailed information in her entries of time they spent together. Every now and then she would casually mention a Friday spent with him, but it didn't go much beyond that. Maybe I have missed or overlooked something? Maybe she was private in that aspect?  I read where Sue posted that Michelle does not blame CJ for her death, and that she has much more honor than that. I believe Sue and agree that everyone is responsible for their own actions. That said, her journal and myspace entries seem to imply, at least in part, that CJ was a playing factor in her emotional ups and downs. I would appreciate any enlightenment on Michelle. She's very interesting and truly had way more worth than she realized.     

    Again, my intent is not to cause any emotional disruption. I just want to understand more of a person I only wish I could have had the opportunity to meet. Sue, my love and thoughts to you.

    Re: Michelle Crawford - Suicide #63

    To Sue,  I was diagnosed with bi-polar about nine months ago. By chance I found Michelle's story. I was hooked on the thread, I just finished it. More to follow I hope. Your story of how her death inpacteded you, make me think that I can't take my life, because my 3 sons, my husband, grandchrildren would be devastated(spelling?). Mine is one life you saved. I WILL keep going to the doctor, ask questions, and talk to my family. My life may be hard, but I can't put my family through the pain you indured.
        I have no insurance, but I found a web site for free medication. That also helps me. But most of all thank you to Sue for Michelle's story, you and Michelle saved my life, and thank you to all the MDS members.....Thank you

    Here is the web site: www.partnershipforprescriptionassistance.com (again my spelling may be off )

    Re: Michelle Crawford - Suicide #63

    It's been so long now since this all happened but I can still feel the emotional impact of it all.
    Anyway, I'm still clambering through sobriety and trying to live my new life.
    I still believe in the vision I had of Michelle happy on the other side in heaven.
    I believe I will see her again one day.

    Re: Michelle Crawford - Suicide #63

    Cj, you're amazing. You've been through alot. I'm 3 years sober and I know it's a beating, but you sorta give me hope. I'm not sure about the whole heaven thing, but I know there is something after we are gone and I think it's probably pretty rad. I think it's cool to think of you and Michelle wrapping up this epic love story there... You have the rest of forever "here" to put some positive energy back into the world and your way with words no doubt does that.

    I don't think anyone ever gets over a suicide of a loved one.  You just learn to cope.

    Sudden tragic death, period. It is just harder to understand when they chose it. People put needless blame on themselves.

    Bleeding Wheels on the Moon, the Makeshift Makings Spun too Soon

    Gushing tranquilty erosion

    with the misfits level

    achieved in between cornea and retina

    the brain received pri,mordial echoes

    that erupt into panic,

    older and older we go a rabbit

    and a fox and trilobite, none too bright

    having a barbeque in the sequestered

    suburban fester repro,duce until mongrels

    a traditional fest will dress the rest

    up into pretty human costumery

    what's with all the flummery

    you were made with age,

    not to be cag,ed in sterile rage,

    dance in the grand ballroom of love

    will upon will with the Lord above...

    Re: Michelle Crawford - Suicide #63

    It's just all so strange to me. I've had people that i've known commit suicide and it's just always so weird. Maybe it's weird because I have debated it before, but could never come close to finding the prowess inside myself to do it. It infuriates me when people say it's a "cowardly" thing to do... I think it's the polar opposite.
    I feel for those left behind, empathetic to say the least. I just understand what it feels like to be done.
    Then I think it's strange (personally) how certain people whom do it rattle my core. Michelle, Evian di Stephano... i'm jealous I never met them both. What a loss to the world.
    Cj, I read everything you write like 4 times before I stop holding my breath. I don't quite know what that means, but it's the truth. Do you have any idea what you plan to type before you type it, or does it just flow like that? It's cathartic.

    dammit, nd beat me to it.

    i think some of her threads were deleted due to dramz with her ex.

    i wonder about her mom. i watched 'the bridge' tonight and one of the jumpers was talking about taking (non prescribed) antidepressants that made him not sleep and amplified his suicidal thoughts. it didn't specify but i wondered if he was taking welbutrin.

    I want to watch the Bridge but we're watching Master Chef.

    Is Welbutrin what Michelle was taking? I can't go back and look. Way too much html shit.

    yeah, if i remember correctly it's one of the things she had been prescribed and that her mom believed could have contributed. it's got a black box warning.
