    I've just been reflecting on this a lot recently and wanted to know where you guys/gals are at.

    It's okay. I've made some good progress when it comes to anxiety and life direction, I have good friends even if I don't have that many, but I still feel like I'm behind my peers because I let my issues make me miss some opportunities.

    "I have huge highs and crushing lows."
    Life is unfair. Sadly most of the positives have a negative waiting around the corner to pull me from cloud 9 and slam me face first into pavement. I'm trying to focus and cherish the amazing moments but it's hard.

    I voted for "It's alright. I'm not happy but I'm not unhappy either."

    However, I don't think it's completely accurate. I feel pretty happy. I have a social life, and I have a sport I do, and I have a job. So things are going pretty well. It would be cool to have a relationship or at least play the field a bit.

    I'm generally very happy. I may not always feel happy, but I am content and I have a good life despite being unwell. I went for the first option. :newcolor:

    I am still amazed by how much I've changed since, say, the beginning of this year, when I was self-harming, wanted to kill myself, didn't have strong faith, hated my mother, etc.. Yayy!

    My life is going alright. I have a job (which I hate) and I go to school for something I enjoy. It could be worse.

    In some ways, I have never been happier.
    In others, frustrated while certain things are happening or taking their time.

    I picked huge highs and crushing lows.

    I'm certainly not at the lowest point I've ever been, but I have been crying a lot lately, thanks to a tough breakup and being terrified about the career changes I'm about to make. But I just came out to everyone I know, and that felt pretty euphoric. I think things are going to get better in general, though.

    I chose "I'm not really sure", because, well, I'm not.

    Actually, I think I may be lying to myself. I know I'm depressed. Things aren't going well. But on the bright side, I have more friends now than ever before. And I'm feeling much more creative too. So there are positives and negatives.

    I'm not really sure, I mean I have tons of things to be happy about but there are some things making me a bit upset

    Could be worse, could be better. If I pass my exam and then find a job, my life will be so much better.

    I chose 'I don't know' because it seemed best. I'm not happy and I'm not sad, but I'm also not alright. I feel a little empty, like I don't exactly feel thing.
     
  17. I am enrolled at an awesome new school. I don't have much money, but what I have is enough to scrape by until I have more. I have a job. I just had surgery and I'm so happy that that's over and the recovery is going great. I have an amazing relationship with an incredible woman and it's the healthiest one I've ever had.

    Who I want to be and where I want to go are both coming clearer.

    Nothing is perfect, but things are good and I feel like asking for more than I have already is ridiculous and unnecessary.

    I picked It's alright. I'm not happy but I'm not unhappy either. I'm overall pretty happy, the only thing that's making me upset it thinking about my future, mostly because of school. The teachers don't teach enough, and the students are so stupid. I'm doing too well, and yes, that's a bad thing, it's supposed to be challenging when it's not, even middle school was more challenging, I was lucky to even get a 85 average in middle school, I finished 8th grade with 87, I think, but, in high school, my average for 9th grade was 97. I know I didn't improve that much.. the school isn't challenging enough, and I worry that it won't prepare me for college at all.

    If I could find a boyfriend, that'd be the end of everything bad left in my life.

    Meh. Fairly unhappy right now tbh. Turned 22, graduated college, don't really have much direction for my life, and just feel alone.
