I've learned that my life is going to be full of ups and downs, from here on in I'm an emotional rollercoaster that I'm strapped into. My job is to learn to cope using the tools given to me by the professionals who've been helping me along the way. I've also learned that it's okay if I drop a tool or two or three when the coaster gets a little too out of control. We're all allowed bad days.
@Kittyismyanchor - Woah!! This is such a great analogy/metaphor!
Honestly, I think I'm going to start looking at my life like this from now on; such a positive way of perceiving your life! Thankyou so much for sharing this with us all, I wish you all the best in the rest of your life - enjoy the ride!
To keep on keeping on, focus on myself and it things suddenly start to improve! I am the most important person in my life and I'm the only one who's opinion Etc matter.

Yes! It can be really hard at times but we have to remind ourselves to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. At the end of the day we and we alone are the ones that are guaranteed to be there for the rest of our lives, so we need to take care of ourselves! I'm really happy to hear how you learned this about yourself! You are on the right track! Keep up the great work!! :D
I am learning that I can take my space if I want to and if people are offended by my need to be alone sometimes which is completely healthy, then that is their problem.
@patientJar5522
That is so true! We all need to be able to take alone time, and to other people they may misunderstand why it is that we need alone time. Although, you are right, that is something that they need to figure out. It is okay and important to take alone time :) I am glad that you were able to make that realization. Keep up the great work!
I received the PenPal badge. Whoopeee!!! :)

I've learned to be more thankful for what I do have.
@GlenM
that is not my fault and that even if my life is dull and rough I can still be cheerful like I was before! Also to cope.
