Doing Better

So, this is new for me. Normally I comment on other forum posts instead of creating my own. I've created a couple of my own threads, but not like this. I just wanted to share with everyone that I'm doing a lot better.

Over the past few months, my depression and anxiety were acting up. And boy, did they have a lot to say. But about a week ago, I started getting better. I don't know why and I don't particularly care. I just know that I'm getting better. My stress is way down and my anxiety too. My depression is more like a small little cloud following me around instead of a thunderstorm where I have no umbrella.

I'm trying to be more optimisitc and focus on the good instead of the bad. I'm taking more time for myself instead of overextending myself trying to help everyone else. I started talking about the problems that I've been facing more with people I trust rather than just keeping it in.

I still have bad days. I still have days where the last thing I want to do is face the world, but I still do it. But here's to having more and more good days over time.
