In college is when I think I was my happiest. I was doing well acedemically, I socialised a lot & met new people frequently, I spent time with my family and had a part time job that I enjoyed. And most importantly I felt confident about all these things. I think independece fuels confidence because it proves to yourself that you can do it on your own.
I’m now at university, living with my boyfriend, with close relationships with my family and old friends, I have a new group of friends and I’m pretty much financially independent.
However I don’t feel independent. I’ve done all this with the help of my boyfriend so I don’t feel like I’ve achieved it. I think I can be quite a paranoid person. I hate crowded places & don’t really do things on my own out of the house. I’d ike to be able to do simple things like go food shopping or go to get a hair cut or go for a walk on my own.
I think the way forward is ignore what my boyfriend is doing and do what I want to do. Don’t think that just because he doesn’t want to, I can’t. Be more optimistic & forceful.

I am 20. I am studying mechanical engineering. I just like my own things and my own freedom. Being dependable on someone else even my parents does not inspire me a lot.
2 years back while i was still studying i started my own firm, and failed miserably. Funnily did not make a single buck, break even and profit were far from achieving.
So here i am starting all over again, with a new idea and a new concept in mind. I have set a target for myself. No matter whatever happens i wanna be independent and start taking care of myself in next 2 months.

well,
I have done two major things that turns me to an independent woman:
1-Got a decent job that i can sponsor myself and also feel proud of it.
2-Focus on me and what emotionally i need the most, Be independent emotionaly out of any stressors that is what i am trying to focus on too.
3-considering more independency by having my own business but still on Business planning phase.

This sort of ties in with finishing University and getting a job, so it will be a while until i am independant! It’s a very scary thought.

I’ve had to fend for myself my whole life. As a really young kid I had to learn to cook and clean and deal with things like an adult. I had it tough but I wouldn’t change a thing. I am strong and independant because of everthing that has ever happened to me in my life.

My entire life I’ve focused on guys, I’ve always wanted to fall in love, get married have kids. I still do, but I refuse to let guys control my life like they once did, no not anymore, its my life I’m going to do what I want with it.

I want to be free from depression, from fear and become a stronger person for my children.
