Well I'm 25 now and for some of you that's just a baby and for others, I'm sure it seems ancient but for me it's just disappointing. I am beginning to fear that my life is a waste. I haven't accomplished anything that I've set out to do and there is no sign of a resolution in sight. Of course I'm probably being to hard on myself but I can't help it, I've always been this way and now I'm starting to realize that perhaps my broken brain is what's been getting in the way. I want so desperately to fix ME. To just be able to get up everyday and be the best me. Forgive myself for the mistakes I've made and forgive others for what they've done but I just CAN'T. I'm so upset about my past and lack of accomplishments that its keeping me from progressing into the mature independent and strong woman that I need to be. I have no friends, I don't fit in anywhere. I spent my birthday alone to the soundtrack of a thunderstorm...

The problem is that I have no clue how to go about it. I mean, I'm hear, I finally got a therapist, I've admitted my problems so how come I'm not changing? I know it doesn't happen overnight but what about over the course of 25 years? I'm tired of just talking about my issues I want to DO something about them! The problem is I have no idea where to start and the more I talk about my issues the worse I feel...

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...
