Tell me a story...

That you overcame something. It could be the moment you were giving up and something happened and you got back on your feet... or anything like that.

Not a huge story but I had to leave my low paying job in 2017 because we were getting evicted. We got evicted, I got dumped and I had no job at the end of 2018. That led me to depression and I'm still there.

However, in 2019 I got a job where I was more than double of what I earning previously. Even after I got that job, I was sidelined because of a hereditary medical condition. It wasn't mentioned on the job posting if that would pose a problem. Had it then I wouldn't have applied for it.

Long story short, I never got that job too in 2019. In about 2020, they called me in to start working because I was screwing them hard. I had found their flaws and pointed it before for months and eventually I got the job.

@Beatbox34 glad to hear you beat that adversity. 👍🤗 Sorry you still battle depression. It's a tough road and seems to be a vicious cycle. 😕😔🤗🤗

@Beatbox34 A break up is like the cherry on top to make you feel more sad. I remember in 2014 towards the end of the year we got evicted. My alcoholic brother caused problems so that's why we had to go. We were in a hotel for over a month. I went into labor early. My bf and I took a break. I was driving in to work with a new car but was living in a hotel. Everyday getting off of work I would cry. Things got better we found a place, My son thrived and we worked out our relationship. I'm glad you got the job, it's a new beginning for your life and I hope you continue to do well.

@Sunflower2021 A lot of things changed after that. I had expected a lot from that person and sacrificed a lot to end up with nothing. Well it happens. Life happens. Thank you so much for this. I wish you the best as well.

@Montanaman Thank you. I'm just trying to battle the depression. Maybe I will be victorious.

I went through meds withdrawal after an emotional year, it took 4 weeks for the shakes to stop for my vision to be full and for my body to start keeping food down again. It was a horrible month. I remember shivering in 98 degree weather. I had a low moment ...it was horrible...


I just finished my first year of grad school and I just got my first house ...I don’t take meds anymore.

@Sunflower2021 Mmm that’s unfortunate. There’s many ways to helping yourself that may or may not include people/family. Hope he finds a way.

@AnthroKenji me too. He's been drinking for more than 10 years so I know it will be hard for him. He don't want help and he says he don't like talking about feelings. I guess he's fine with where he's at. I haven't talked to him because all he talks about is himself.

@Sunflower2021 Mmm, I have many uncles like that, they’re essentially drinking themselves to death. My mom and dad tried to help them for years, most of them died. My two uncles my parents gave up on. Can only do so much.
