MESSAGE FROM MELISSA

[Rhonda]

subject:
HELLO EVERYONE-LONGTIME I KNOW BUT I'M STILL AROUND-- JUST HAVING RHONDA POST IT FOR ME ;D

Hello Everyone & Welcome to all who are new and do not know me. First I will say my name is Melissa to the members that do not know me also known as Mel.

I started this about 7 years ago and Rhonda has stuck by my side(Thank you )

My purpose here was for people who have mental issues, family and friends who want to ahve a place to come to......so they can read information, share information thoughts and feelings to help support one another.

Also I added some support group so there could be some peer run support on specific topics...so that in a short top.

Anyways for all of those who have been wondering how I am doing and where the heck I have been......

I am doing really good now! Tomorrow April 16th 2007 I have court to hopefully get out a DISCHARGE from the hospital
I am currently in the Utica New York State Hospital. I have been here sinceAugust 2007. My treatment team now is working on a discharge plan and hopefully after tomorrow things may move more quickly after court.

I am having Rhonda type this so I don't want to make it too long.

I will have her update everyone again soon.

Love Always
Melissa E. (Mel)

I only just got this by snail Mail... so am posting the day I received Melissa's Letter. :-)

Hi Rhonda.
Thank you for the update on Mel, I look forward to meeting her one day.

Her life doesn't seem as if it has been an easy one, I lope that
life starts to treat her a lot more kindly in the future.

If you get to talk to her soon, please say hi from me and give her a big hug.
