why

I have been asking a lot of "why did this happen to me' lately. I just feel like everything I thought was going well actually turned out to be completely horrible. I try so hard and I just want to give up so badly. I feel so heavy and exhausted, and every day I am praying that things will get better. And I am terrified that they won't and that my enitre life is just going to fall apart. Even though my depression has gotten better, it still creeps up on me, and this time I think it may hurt even more than it did before.

Congrats on the treatment and being sober for 8 months. Keep working hard and school will be ok. I can understand that holidays can be hard. Don't worry, everything will be o.k. I'm sorry that your dad has PTSD.

Yes take one day at a time. If you can plan each day with a written schedule that's even better, so that the holidays are more bearable and easier to get through. Someone will always be around here on DS if you get stuck.

    Today I had two medical appointments, and I also met with the job developer from vocational rehab. I never imagined about a year ago when I qualified for vocational rehab due to migraines that I would later have a TIA and now a heart condition. The situation has gotten a lot more complicated.It's been a very emotional day, and I'm living in a new normal now since I had this TIA and I really...
