Hello; my name is Lorraine Reguly.
I was raped when I was a fourteen-year-old virgin.
I turned to drugs, quit school four times, and became very promiscuous. At age 16, I had an abortion. I also got involved with prostitution. My son was born when I was 18.
I went back to school, and graduated via a program for single moms. I received scholarships and awards. I attended university for 5 years, and became a high school math and English teacher. I worked for 3.5 years, teaching in a small town.
I quit to move to my hometown, and returned to prostitution and drugs because the money was better. But it ruined my self-esteem. I was also then in an accident where I nearly lost my right leg. The resulting scar/deformity to my leg contributed to my depression. I was suicidal for years, too.
My son moved out when he turned 19. I didn’t speak to him for three years. The worst time of my life was during this period. I even ended up smoking crack for ten months during this time. Then I nearly died when my appendix burst.
This event changed my life forever. I realized I didn’t want to die without saying “good-bye” to my son.
I had already started to turn my life around about two years before this event occurred, and so when I finally re-connected with my son, my life always back on track.
Re-uniting with Julian changed my life in a very positive way. I decided to pursue a writing career.
I now own a business, Wording Well, and am an author. I live a clean life, and spend a lot of it helping others. My books are in my local library, and my business is thriving.
I’m living proof that a person can hit rock bottom and rise to the top despite all odds against him/her.
My son is proud of me again, too. 🙂
I Want to Help You
My mission is simple: I want to help others deal with their emotional pain and move on to live happier lives.
That is why I wrote From Nope to Hope: How I Overcame My Suicidal Thoughts (and How You Can Too).
I know what it’s like to be depressed and unhappy. I’ve been there more times than I can count. I still have some rough days, but my life now is much better. I’m happy. I’m positive. I feel good most of the time!
I was even able to start a business 3 years ago. Now I spend my time helping others in various ways. Feel free to check out the 4 services Wording Well offers. Visit my author site, too.
If you have any questions at all, about anything, please ask me.
I’m here to help you.
Even though we don’t know each other, I care about you.
And I don’t want to see you suffer any longer!
~Lorraine
