Living to be better

Depression took an entire year away from me. Looking back at 2018 is painful because all I did was wake up go to work come back home and cry myself to sleep then wake up the next day to do the very same thing.

I lost friends, didn't go out much and pretty much isolated myself from the entire world. My relationship with my mother is strained and she was the closest person to me.

This year I'm hoping things will be different for me. I can't continue a meaningless existence.

I'm ready to truly live.

Lesa, I am excited for you! Yeah, 2018 sounded horrendous but the promises for this year could be a complete turnaround... who knows? I like that you're ready to give things a chance; to make something more upbeat for your life this year. I'm would be interested to hear how January goes for you. Maybe we'll talk again in the not-so-distant future. Take care of yourself, Lesatheflower!
