(no subject)
So this time last year I was extremely depressed and had no lifelong ambition, or any idea what path to follow. I was having my meetings with Powys Training then, and then they just bunged me off to college to get rid of me. Of course you all know how that turned out.
I just wasn't in the right state of mind to deal with that kind of pressure. I was being thrown into the shark pit with no protection, so to speak. Not only did getting out freak me big time, but the social situations I was suddenly thrown into overwhelmed me so much, that it hid my depression again until that got to me, and I had to leave again.
So I was suddenly back in the situation where I had no direction in life, and no hope of ever managing to do anything with it. It was around that time that I decided enough was enough and I went to my doctor and got myself sorted out.
It was a very long and tedious path, I have to admit. There were some times I just wanted to give in because it was too hard-- but all of my good friends helped me out so much, and got me to the position I am in today. Because of you all, I'm able to look back at all of that, smile and carry on with my life without anything holding me back.
So basically, the point of this rather overly fluffy post is to say thank you. I mean it from the bottom of my heart; I honestly do. I couldn't ask for a better set of friends, and I love you all a lot. You mean the world to me, so don't ever change, y'hear?!
