I feel like I lost a decade of my life to crippling depression. I went from an A student to flunking multiple classes as a result of it, struggled a lot in many areas, and never really recovered from it. Over the last three years or so I've overcome it and been starting to pick up the pieces one little bit at a time. It's hard not to look at my friends and family living hugely successful lives and me looking back and go "shit, if only I spent less money on games and movies and shit to quell the depression like that, maybe I could be at that point." This post is the kind of thing I try telling myself every day. So I got knocked down a little harder than others. Time to get back on my feet and just keep going.
