overcome my depression.

Something happened last night.I have been suffering from depression since I was 14(I’m 22 now) and ever since then I have had this constant,never-ending pain in my chest.The doctors said it was the depression that caused it.It never stopped,it never dropped in intensity,it would only grow in intensity when something bad happened to me,then return to the “normal” level once I would calm down.Last night it just stopped.I can’t feel it any more AT ALL.It’s just gone.Today I haven’t felt it one bit.I’m not sure what caused this change but I have a hunch it has something to do with my recent attempts to change myself into the person that I want to be.It took me quite a while and it wasn’t pretty or easy(I quit and then started all over again more times than I care to remember)but I can finally see some real evidence that my struggle is paying off.So,to everybody reading this and in a position similar to mine HANG IN THERE AND KEEP TRYING!It may take a while but it gets better,life gets better and not because of God or the universe or some other nonsense like that but because of YOU.You’re putting things in motion,you’re making things happen,you’re the one who doesn’t give up although you feel like it would be so much easier to do so,you deserve all the credit.I give credit where credit is due.(Hey,how about a joke to cheer you up:Borrow money from pessimists,they won’t expect you to return it! ;-)
