Do You ever wonder why

Do u ever think what u could have done without your illness. The connections you could of made, Time you lost, or the person u would have been. I think I am lost right now. I know I am at the age where people do that, but I don't think it's as normal as everyone else. All my life I've been anxious. I've been scared of what people say, and think. I don't really know who I am.

Dont be worried about this. You have time to find out who you are. I dont know who I am, I dont know where I will be in a few years time. But there is plenty of time and future ahead of you, we're still young you know.

Wow, been there hun. All round. With the anxiety and wondering about everything people say about you or do. And not knowing who you are.

This is what I came to though. That my depression is part of me. I have finally embraced it and accepted it. I dont' like it at all, who does? But its the cards I was dealt. Everyone has something in their life, this is my big demon. After I did that, I just tried to move forward and learn how to live as healthy and happy with depression as I could, and I'm the farthest with it I have been my entire life. I came farther in 2 years accepting it than the rest of my previous life not wanting to accept it. Just a thought. Best of wishes to you! Here if you need to talk :)

I have always felt that way. Even at 26 I am still not sure what I am going to do with my life. But the one thing I can say is I dont think I would live without my illness. It has shown me emphathy that I dont think I could have if I was "normal".

It's hard when you are hungry for so much, you wish you could beat it, and get over it. And since I've been at college, I haven't told anyone, I've hid it very well. On my bad days is the worst. Wanting to be by yourself, but tryin to meet the needs of others.

I know how you feel. I think about it all the time, and it only makes me worse. Christ, I would be studying for the LSAT and applying to grad and law schools right now if it weren't for the depression.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
