I've missed out on great academic and employment options that would have put me at a better place than I am now. I've said "no" to myself many times and have held back instead of trying my luck at things and seeing where they could lead. I've also missed out on what could have been good friendships a few times because I didn't feel "good enough". Rather than look back at those instances with regret, I prefer to grow as much as I can now so that I can handle my depression and be in control of my life. I'm still in my twenties and have an undergraduate degree. I know I can find a career I enjoy and can do well in. I'm glad I'm on these forums to share with others and have the life I know I deserve.
