I made it through a new step and I just feel way more relaxed. I had some problems before but when I decided to start slowly taking those small steps I realized that this is what will help me move on through some difficult times, instead of just avoiding the situation~ Thank you for being an amazing site and helping all those people in need!
@exposedrabbit~ thats great that you're taking small steps.. one day at a time.. know that we're here for you 
I learned from my listener just now that depression is the thing that's been making me all the things I hate in myself. That it's been so familiar and uncomfortable for so long it's all I feel entitled to. It's what's been making me so deeply dysfunctional, the thing I hate most in myself. I need to realize I'm a person. And I also learned she has faith in my ability to recover. So that's something, at least :)
@AmoebaK~ im so glad you got the help here you wanted and got to learn more about yourself... know that we're here for you

@lavenderBlackberry2644~ do you think talking to one of our listeners 1-on-1 might help or the mindfulness exercises? know that we're here for you 
I complete 20 step and i realize that joy is matter of practice and choice.
@Beardwolf~ step 20! yay!

Just reached step 40. It's been a while since I got on here, and I felt a bit like I was backsliding. I have realized, though, that I need to try and care more about myself. I'm actually cleaning a bit each day, and that seems to be helping. Now I just need to work on actually getting things done when I've said I'll do them.

thank you again. I did not forget about and I will most certainly PM you soon.
I'm feeling pretty good right now, but I'm afraid it is just because of holidays and when university starts again I will return to the point I was at the start. Also, I feel like I should be studying and doing a lot more homework.
