Last year I was in and out of the hospital from suicide attempts and self mutilation. This year I am engaged to a wonderful man and I am healthier than I have been in 3-4 years, though I do need to get back onto Prozac and would like to focus on losing some weight.
Hmmm, one year ago I was a very crazy and probably not the most stable person on the forums lmao. I was always looking for trouble, and just being reckless...
A year ago today, I was with this total ******* of a guy and knew I had to get out of that borderline mentally abusive relationship but didn't have the guts to. Now I think I've gained better communication skills and I know what I want/need more than I did then (and what I need to do to get it). Unfortunately I'm a hell of a lot more mentally unstable now, but it's something I hope to change in 2017.
I'm not even close to the same person. I have changed a lot for the better. Mainly due to discovering I have medical issues we didn't know about before and getting me treated for it which makes me feel 100 million times better in every way.
I have every confidence and optimism for 2017, I have a feeling that this is going to be my year.
Every year we mature and become new people to an extent. i was a depressed bitter person because my ex had Broken my heart. I went through all the cliches of thinking I'm never finding anyone else and he was the only one for me. Now I'm happy and couldn't feel better and couldn't care less. I did some growing through my heartbreak and now I think that him out of my life is the best gift he could have given me.
...to add on I finally got off that stuff and got another job that's been going somewhat alright. I got to see my sister graduate high school. My Grandfather passed. My Dad's been devasted. I found out my closest teacher has cancer. Other than that I haven't really done anything besides work. I guess I got to meet new people along with seeing a lot of old friends and teachers from high school.
My favorite thing about 2016: THE MUSIC. So many awesome albums came out this year and I absolutely loved it. There is still more to come in 2017 too!
In conclusion, I am still a bitter **** who doesn't know where he is going in life, but yea 2016 was better than 2015. It hasn't been great but better than 2015. Hopefully 2017 will actually be the year (HOPEFULLY...)
i think about a year ago i wasn't much different as i am now but compared to 2 years ago, definitely different. i think im just a more matured person and know better than i did in the past.
My health really deteriorated this year. After relapsing and spending all of August in hospital, I had to accept that I'll continue to relapse for the rest of my life and what exactly my condition means. Before that I could at least hope that it wouldn't be such a regular thing and I'd have some breathing space in remission for longer in between episodes. Had to get my head round what that means for my future.
With all that i have realised who is there for me when I need them. It's ruined some 'friendships' as I'll never be the same with some people after how I was treated when my mortality was brought into question again.
It's made me stronger in some respects but not in others. I'm a completely different person to the one I was a year ago today. Just as I was 2 years ago today
