I've struggled with depression for almost 7 years now, used to be able to go to university and work and be in an fraternity and do really well with life. Now I live at home and and have tried to go to back to college and study at university and live on my own, but my parents do not support me and don't believe me which has been keeping with stuck. Now I'm just going to get my associates degree, my dreams kind of came crashing down. But, there is always hope as long as we are still breathing.

Anyway, the other day my brother gave me a piece of advice that has helped me more than anything else. He told me to write a list of everything that I have to be thankful for and read it everyday and add to it everyday, and I tell you what it's amazing how big of a difference that has made in my life. I much less depressed than I did a few weeks ago(also thanks to Valium)
