My Journey So Far

I have been on and off of dailystrength, since I was around 14 years old. I have always found this place to be safe. And I have always felt like I have had someone on my side at this place, even when I was at my worst. 
 
I return now, because I have started living my life. I have started working towards a better future, and am full of hope. 
 
A little about me, I am a mother of 3, who have been separated from a marriage for a year and a half now. I work full time as a cook/waitress in a restaurant, and occasionally as a housekeeper. 
 
Most of my life has been an emotional struggle. I have had depression issues since I was a child. I hit a very scary low point more recently, and decided to seek medical help. I am now taking two antidepressants, and have changed up my routine quite a bit.
 
I feel at peace for one of the first times in a long time. I am smiling. And I am getting through life.
