I talk to people on the worst day of there lives

Hi guys, I hope every is feeling better today, even its just a little better, better is better.

I have started teaching at the weekends, its one of the ways i cope with my deppression,  i used to be seriously depressed a few years ago, after a few trips to the er a few weeks in rehab and with the help of a new found friend i have my life back.

I work in a rape crysis center, so i talk to people on prohibly the worst day of there lifes, its tough and it tears me upinside, but i achually get to help someone it makes it all worth while. You need spmething in your life that occupies and fulfils you, i have a advanced degrege in computer systems but i lost intrest when i was siting in an IT job 9 -5. it was very depressing.

I realised i had to make changes, not change myself because thats imposible, we are who we are, and your going to be spending your life with yourself so you might aswell love yourself, flaws and all.

So i quit my job and started about traveling ireland, i live in ireland by the way, i traveled for about a year and met some great people and finally broke out my shell, i lived alone, i worked alone, i played alone, i had never been i a serious relationship.

I still do all of those things but its ok, because thats who i am, i have accepted that. I have found that if i keep myself occupied all the time i am remarkable happy all the time. When i get home i solve IT problems online and i make modding tools, or i exercise or i read or i meditate.

What i dont do is wolloy in selfpitty or feel bad about my self, or put myself down or cut my self, Dont get me wrong sometimes if the mood is wrong and i had a bad day some of these things happen, but it ok because i know it will pass, I will feel better again soon i know.

There is no cure for depression sadly, But i have a found a way to have depression and still enjoy life, its alot of work, But please believe me when i tell you its worth it to be happy every day, well most days anyway.

I hope everyone is doing better today, and as allways if anyone wants to talk, just let me know.

Peace 🙂
