If you would've told me two years ago that I'd be who I am now, I would've laughed in your face. Like you said before Mr. Daly I don't have a lot of bad days, but I used too. I really don't know I changed my life around. I honestly just remember not wanting to go back to the hospital. I'm talking about a psychiatric hospital by the way. I just knew I didn't want to go back and if that meant learning how to not be depressed all the time, fine whatever but I'm not going back. Going back meant an extended stay, out of state. So I changed, I made new friends. I learned to talk with my mom and others about how I feel on a daily basis. Learning to become a whole new person isn't easy, it takes a lot of work, and lots of support but I have what I mainly always wanted. Nice friends and better relationships with my family. My grandparents talk all the time about "how much better you are" and "we don't know what you've done but we like it." It's so nice to hear that, I know the person I was, wasn't as nice or caring as I am today. I know I've gained a lot of what I have by changing. I hope others can do the same. My life isn't perfect, but I'm very thankful for it and everybody in it.
