[phaset] You sound very much like you know what it is you want in life. I would never tell my doctor about depression because i'm generally against medications. *sigh* Were you ever diagnosed?

Nothing is going on with me at all at 26. I applied to grad school last fall, got denied. Am applying again this year; pretty sure i'm still not getting in. I live home where I moved back after college. Am paying off some of my student loans but bills keep coming in (currently I need two tooth extractions, a took implant, car taxes are due and when I finish - grad school applications are going to kick in..) Have $500 to my name which can't buy any kind of housing. I've been working the same part time job for 2 1/2 years. Single/no kids (both of which i'm very content with). Started seeing a therapist 6 months before I turned 26, now 6 months after i'm 26 I feel like i'm progressing 'emotionally' which now allows me to see that I suck in every other way except that.

[shakespeare] Lol, my mother is the same way about me thinking about getting my own place and was way further than I am by this age. I could never afford a house at this point though, so I admire that you could. That house is awesome. Sounds like an overall good year. Also congrats on the family - that's a truly beautiful thing.
