hello sweetie27,
i know that certain meds for depression have been miracle workers for alot of the people in this world. i was on lithium for a long time for bi-polar symptoms and with out it i don't think i would of made it through my life at that time. you need to surround yourself with people that are supportive in you. always tell yourself that you deserve the best and that you are a beautiful person. sounds corney i know but it helps trust me. there was a point in my life i didn't even leave the house due to panic attacks and i didn't even comunicate with anyone at all. this was for a whole year. i realized i was spirialing out of control i was going to be a hermit or something. i thought i had no friends or anything. well i had to do something about it and i did. i took up a hobby and it really helped me out alot. i did lapidary. that is the art of cutting and polishing stones and making jewelry and such. it has helped me grow as a person alot. i joimed this lapidary club close to my house and trust me i was really a nervous wreck at first. the people there were so nice and helpful. i was so scared to cut a rock on this big huge saw. when i did it though i was like wow i can do this! that in itself was a big boost to my confidence. never in a million years i thought i was going to be cutting rocks and loving it. i met quality people that were really caring and we were like this close knit family. helping each other out not just with lapidary but in our personal lives. in the long run i made wonderful friends helped teach an art to other people which was a great feeling. now i have made some beautiful things and i'm proud to say i made that when people admire it. and also i can teach you to do that to!!!!! needless to say i have done lapidary work for about 16 years now. i just can't get it out of my blood. i'm a "rockhound" so to speak. it has enriched my life so much. so my point is try to find a club or some kind of hobby that will surround you with positive things. take care.....
