I realise I have been posting more sporadically here, and it's because I feel like I'm in a good spot in my life. Things have been going quite well for me lately and I hope it continues.
When I joined up, I was a mess. My (ill-fated) relationship was on the brink, I was depressed and anxious most days, my future looked extremely bleak, and I was flirting with the idea of suicide. That was 2011. Fast forward to 2015 and my life has taken a turn for the better. Since that time I have seen a psychologist, got a second job, started university, got my first aid certificate, went overseas once (but planning again soon), got a better girlfriend, and gained more confidence in myself and my actions. Among other things.
The biggest thing, though? Eliminating the depressive abysses I would fall into. They have disappeared for the last year or so, and I am so thankful for that, that I can barely put it into words. Waking up not depressed every day is a wonderful feeling. Am I cured? Hard to say. I still get transient sadness and "low" feelings occasionally, and I still have some anxiety, especially with the phone, but that's life. I'm doing great.
So with that, I bid this forum farewell. I may still log in every now and again, and I will log in to check this thread and my private messages for a short while. Anybody who wishes to keep in contact through WhatsApp or Viber, I have those, although keep in mind with two jobs, university, and a girlfriend, my time is limited, haha. Just let me know, anyway.
I'm studying psychology in university, so I can one day help those who've helped me through the tough times. And - most of all - I hope everyone here finds their peace and can live happily.
See you later, mate. :thumbup:
