and no you are not a loser by having to drop out of school. your depression/that sack i mentioned- is bogging you down. once you start to heal you will be able to return to school if you want to.
so try not to be discouraged right now. you are on a journey to a new and improved you!!!

And thanks Madigram

thanks for the encouragement.
i am very discouraged about everything right now and I would agree that I need to find different ways to cope with my pain.
sometimes i wonder if in order to heal, i have to go through the pain though, sometimes I think not acknowledging it and focusing on the positive would help me recover quicker but, most of the time I hear otherwise.
