Hi Chris and Jim,

    My name is Mike Perillo, let me start by saying thank you for your support and what your doing for me and other. My story being over 40 years ago. I was born in 1981 i was born 3 months early. I spent 5 months in the hospital after I was born. I had a 4 degree brain bleed plus physical and mental problems threw out my life. 

    Anyway I over came all of it when I tuned 22 years old I met a woman in 2003-04. I got a full time job in 2007 not my first,but that started everything. We moved into our first apartment then we got married in January 13th 2012,then in May of 2014 we had our first kid Hannah my daughter is now 9 years old. 

    Over the years working for 15 years I broke down physical and mentally. Then my job released me in February of 2023. It's been 9 months ago today that I have been working. Anyway after I lost my job after 15 years it's making my anxiety kick in. I do have support from family and everyone knows I am in the place I need to be,but what I still can't get past is losing that job,great friends of course they were blowing up my phone for days and weeks after but,they just stop trying to contact me. I have contacted some people i know and they all said just move on but,you just can't just stop thinking about what happened and just forget 15 years. I mean I had everything in terms of a job. So I came a cross demons behind me on social media and I thought I need to put that demon behind me. How can I just put 15 years behind me over night. 

P.S I knew I had to leave that job but,I just don't like how I left because it was my fault and the guilt and regret is still with me like a dark cloud.

Me and my wife has been together 20 years this December 20,2023.

Thanks Jim and Chris your friend Mike Perillo
