Hi everyone,
I feel like I haven't been here in a while. I know I haven't done gratitude posts in a while either. I still do them sometimes, in my journal, or just silently in my head.
Despite the fact that I'm kinda tired, foggy brained this evening, I'm Ok.
Me and my best friend R have called it quits. For quite a few reasons. Mainly though, he wasn't treating me with respect. In a sense, part of me has felt lost without him. But I'm holding up well. I think it's a good thing that we are not friends anymore. Even though it hurt in the beginning. Now I have time to work on me.
People lately, have been seeming to feel sorry for me. It's annoyed me a lot. But I've gotten through things pretty well. I don't think there's anything wrong with living with your parents at any age, especially if you've had setbacks in your life, have the opportunity, and are working to make positive change in your life.
I've been volunteering quite a bit. And following through with things. I had a realization the other day that showing up to things is THE component of success, achieving your goals, etc. I'd like to speak more about this later. Maybe in another post.
I started going to a depression support group. I never thought I'd do that. But I like it so far.
There's other good things too, but I think I will leave it at here.
Have a good evening everyone,
Angela

Good to hear from you! So much in your post! Sometimes I wish I could live with my parents....i would save SOOOOOOOOOO much money!
it's great that you're volunteering and showing up to things! That's usually the hardest part.
And I'm impressed you're going to a support group...that seems so scary to me!

Thanks for the update, Angela. It's good to hear from you, and it's particularly good to hear that you've been volunteering a lot and liking the depression support group that you've been going to. It sounds like you've got a lot of good things going for you, and I hope that your efforts at making positive change in your life will continue to produce results.

Hi!

aw. i have missed them. they help me feel better about life.

I think that is a good realisation. It is something that I think I am coming to realise, too.
Glad you are still here :-)

Hi No Rose!! It's good to hear from you too. Thanks for the kind words about showing up to stuff! About the support group, I have a lot of different feelings about it, some good, some are more unsure. It's been a positive experience for me, but I'm also not sure it's the right thing for me at this time. Angela

Hi! I am okay... School is okay... Chemistry is kicking my *ss :-( A few weeks until exams... And I need to get a B+ average this year (though possible just slightly under will be enough to just squeak through)... I don't know that I can do that well, honestly... Just need to try and keep enough faith so I don't lose motivation to work hard.
Aspects of what I'm doing... I really love. I really love most of it, honestly. But it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day... And it feels like I have stuff I have to have to have to should be doing time is ticking tick tock tick tock and... I don't get to explore / play with stuff the way I would like to.
I guess things are pretty good. :-)

Good to see you. You sound like you're doing well and doing some good things that remind me of my own goals.
I'd like to find a support group. I've benefited from them in the past, like day hospital programs and ones for DBT. I've been looking but, so far, no keepers. I might volunteer for NAMI depending on how I could be useful.
