An update four months later if anyone cares: Life has been much better, I've been exercising every day, passed all my classes with a B or higher, and I recently started seeing someone new. I'm focused on keeping it healthy, establishing boundaries, and respecting myself. I've made new goals and I'm doing my best to stay with them. I haven't been low in a while, but I also haven't been manic (I have bipolar disorder). I'm really happy for the first time in a long time. The attack by the three men who broke into my house has definitely left a little bit of trauma, but I've been learning how to fight and defend myself, and I feel much more confident. I've really discovered that focusing on me and my needs for the first time in years is really turning my life around.
