    I was about 40. Started to realize I needed direction at about 35. Started making changes soon after. Knew I was on the right path a few years later. I'm 61 now and realize I made all the right choices.

    I decided in my teens that once I hit my 20s I'd be happy with who I was. And I was...decided that it was time to no longer be shy and my brother's shadow.

    After my husband left me in 2009, I had a nervous breakdown. I checked myself into a hospital. Then I started going to therapy one on one and group therapy. That really helped me a lot. I started living my life for ME. Once I started living for ME, my life became immensely better.

    24 years old. But, I'm sure I'll have another couple break-throughs in my life.

    I haven't. Just want to be happy and not overwhelmed all the time.

    I haven't reached that point of acceptance yet.

    I just keep realizing I'll never get what I want out of life. I'm still in a cycle of one step forward, five steps back.

    Never gonna get there, too many obstacles.
    I would settle for just being happy for a few hours each day to be honest

    I had point in my life when I was happier I could be. But then.... it's hard to keep being positive when dragged down with depression. I know what I would want and who I am. It is just hell of a work on myself first.

    I know it sounds stupid to people to say this, but don't really care. When I gave my life over to God, I noticed so many great changes, but so many battles at the same time. I let go of my issues with my ex, my father, the fact that I lost my job (eventually I got a better one), and then now seeing the great changes to my health because of finally taking control of how I am living. It's been the best experience and I pray that 2016 and me turning 35 will be even a better year.

    Some of you guys may remember me, some may not. I have recently being diagnosed as suffering from PTSD. Which in some respects is a relief as i'm now getting the support l need.
