Changing your life

[da_illest101]

Has anyone been able to change their life?

What I mean by that is that let's say you were unhappy, always doing nothing or not what you wanted and then after a while ( with hard word or without it) you were able to be live a better life ?

Yeah I managed to change from a rather normal guy with social life and lot's of friends to a pathetic sociophobic loser
On a more serious note,no I haven't changed my life in a GOOD way for many years,everything it's only going down for me.

I was really depressed about 4 years ago and I started to get into some serious trouble... Then one day I remember I was walking outside and said to myself "you deserve to be happy, from today on you will be happy" It really pulled me out of the slump I was in, and I actually felt lighter and happier just after I said that. I did it again about a year and a half ago and it worked again..
Now i'm in a depression slump again... but that doesn't seem to be working anymore...

Yes, I use to be scared to pursue my goals and live my dream.

I'm sorry Boby, I really hope things get better with you.

i purpose to change my life every year, it started like 4 years ago, but it only got worse. damn, thinking how my life dropped so incredibly into misery in every aspect is actually unbelievable, even me thinking about it, its just so unbelievable.

Yes, I have changed my life. I used to suffer quite severely from Borderline Personality Disorder. Over the past ten years, through forums, journaling, art, and hard work on self-improvement, I've gotten it to a much more manageable level. Unfortunately, I haven't had the same success with my social phobias. But, at least I can hold down a relationship now, which does make the lack of friendships more bearable.

Yeah, I was homebound (isolated) for four years, I had street phobia so I couldn't get out of my home :: I got major panic attacks when I did.

Now, after those four years of self hatred and sadness, I'm back in college after four years of missing out on life and I have performed even with singing Though with sunglasses and just three songs on a little music school thingy, but it's something!!

And I have a girlfriend which is great! (I'm lesbian) and I have some online friends who are really sweet, though in RL it's hard to find friends :: But hopefully i'll change that too.
