When the chips are down

I am someone with depression.....

this depression I have had since I was a young child 

I have recently found out that people will go through spurts of depression 

Its actually a normal part of life to be upset and get down - sometimes for weeks at a time .

But getting too comfortable in the depression is sometimes the problem for alot of people including myself ....
I have been on many different types of medications to try and put an end to feeling so down - 

but the truth is, the medication kept me dependant and did not teach me tools to learn to cope without.

My tricks are ....

1 stay in the moment 

2 do things you love doing 

3 dont give up - tomorrow is most deffenitly another day 

4 journal (alot of my depression I found out was from deep routed problems) 

5 get involved (groups, activities, social events-) 

DO NOT ISSOLATE - This has got to be one of the worst things people as a whole can do - 

because social stimulation is a need just like any other needs 

 If the cause of the depression is to do with certain people - keep your distance

one does not need any added stress 

Just know for anyone reading this - It does get better and you can count on me as a friend 

if you have a story about depression youd like to share with me you can at...

Success and what it means to me....
For me success are goals Ive made and have had followed through on.

Id like to learn Romanian, Id like to visit Romania again, I d like to re visit the place I was born.I’d like to have my school all done and be graduated – id like to become a office administrative co ordinate – Id like to meet my children in the future and see what kind of wonderful people they’ve become and start a painting group in the community.

To get to this –

 I will learn Romanian and practice as much as possible

I will keep an open mind about meeting my children and wait to see if they do end up looking for me

I will finish high school.

And sign up for office administration as soon as possible.

Once I make enough money per year I can go to Romania and re connect with my routes.

 

I define shaping my life into something I am proud of as success and having followed these simple steps is very much attainable.
