How I did it: I found a great great therapist and actually leaned on people who told me that they would be there for anything.

It is not easy. You have to really hit bottom before you can start to see the light and come back up.

Lessons & tips: Lean on other people because you can not do it alone. Set little goals for yourself. Like get a job. Pay all of your bills on time one month. Little things like that make you feel so much better about yourself.

Resources: Mom, sisters, friends, and therapist.
