Elana05 - Just believe in yourself - and you can come out a wiser person - even maybe go back to school or if not do something else with your life - its up to you.

Depression is a hard battle but there are coping mechanisms and ways to deal with it you can learn - I have learned some myself and they work - when I work them.

Sometimes I think when we've had depression, we are "told" we can't get better - and I think sometimes that's why we don't!

Anyway, just thoughts - but you can do it. Believe in yourself - depression can be conquered - you might still feel it - but I believe it can be dealt with.

Hugs! And best of luck to you!

This is a dream of mine too. I did go back to get my bachelor's degree but I was still pretty young (23). Then I had a more mild form of depression in my later 20's and frittered away a lot of time in jobs I did not like (mainly customer service). Turning 30 meant a bout with severe depression and several breakdowns. But I am *hoping* I will come out of it all a wiser person and be able to return to studying/school once again.
Good for all of you!
