My year of 2015 was both dramatic and self improving. I learned a lot from my mistakes. There was a lot of bad times like losing a job due to my MI. I also quit drinking from years of alcohol dependence. However that lead to a severe dark depression. Then I got back on meds and an stable again. Health wise I'm doing great after eliminating alcohol from my life. Mine and my bf's relationship grew. His divorce was finalized and I started spending time with his two little boys. We changed my spare room into a bedroom for them and for Christmas they got more than they hoped for. Bringing more responsibility into our life's wasn't easy. We had fights from stress and because of my depression and lack of self worth. And then as a few weeks ago I started a new job. So with the bad came the good and I hope to keep growing in the new year. Maybe I'll even give therapy another go. God knows I need it!

How about you? How was your 2015? The good and the bad? What do you wish to bring to your new year?

For me 2015 was an ok year overall, the biggest thing was buying my first brand new car back in May. There were a number of down moments as well. Economically I am better off than ever, but my marriage has deteriorated further, likely to end sometime this year.

In my life I find that even numbered years seem to be more lucky than odd, probably just superstition on my part.

My 2015 had some highs - completing my forrensic accounting program and graduating, and doing a great job search workshop for people with disabilities.

But it also had some major downsides. I was in a very deep dark depression for the last 6 months of the year which meant I didn't accomplish much.

I'm looking forward to 2016 to be a better year. I'm confident that I can find work in 2016, and I'm determined to stay sober. I'm also looking forward to getting more into both meditation and exercise.

There were some highs for me as well. I am working, have managed to stay fairly level, and am off of SSDI now. My brother now understands what is going on with our Dad after the visit he had with him; this had its positive and negative side, which broke my heart, but overall really helpful and supportive now that he understands. One of my dogs completed her therapy dog certification.

The lows are that my folks are not doing well and that my Dad is declining. My mom is in denial and not helping. I also took a nasty fall with some side effects hitting my head and injuring my neck. In taking care of my folks, I have put off getting help.

My News Year's resolutions are to continue making strides at work, do what I need to to stay level, to get back to doing more things I enjoy doing, and to take better care of myself as I have been sorely neglecting to do so. My GP made some doctor's appointments for me with some specialists in the new year to get checked out; that I need to follow through with it and their recommendations. I also need to look into getting more help with my folks to help with my New Year's Resolutions.

2015 was a definite learning experience. My daughter graduated high school and took a job to start paying for her stuff and go to college. We ended up taking in her boyfriend after a domestic violence situation with his parents. It seems to be working well and he also has a job, but the car he bought is broken and may need serious repairs. My husband got his VA disability approved and I refinanced the house, but it seems like the money we make gets spent on fixing things and maintenance so that is a wash. I had two hospitalizations in the spring and two ER visits in the fall, but I'm now feeling better and working on loving myself.

My goal for 2016 is breaking through some of the fears that have held me back. I'm good with the activities of daily living, but I want to move on beyond that. It may mean a change in therapists, as my current one is good about talking about feelings but not with accountability and assigning homework. I'm going to talk more about it with my pdoc next week. I also need to work on my physical health as that has taken a major hit this years with a major change in medication. If I can stay stable this year and not go to the hospital that would be a plus.

my 2015 wasn't good at all.

i'd say it was the worst year ever- to say my life has fallen apart isn't even cutting it. not even close. i've lost so much- in terms of not only health, but other stuff too.

it's hard to say what i hope for 2016, i don't know.

just some direction, and to find my place in this world would be nice.

kind of wide open i know, because i have absolutely no idea where, or what that is, but i hope at least 2016 is a little better than 2015

It was good for the most part. I learned a lot in dbt. I learned from a failed relationship. I've learned to begin to be better to myself, despite still having feelings that I'm selfish and sometimes useless. No one is perfect. I'm learning to accept my many shortcomings and faults. I'm beginning to do my best at things I had lost my passion for, enjoying music and playing it more than before.

The past few months have been a whirlwind, I lose track of whats going on. I feel like I've found the love of my life. I've learned to realize that I need to be a whole person on my own, enjoy my own company before I can love someone else.

I'm thankful to start another year still having my Dad who gets quite ill. I'm thankful for some nice memories with my parents. Friends, some new ones some old I've reunited with. I'm feeling more content with my life. Something always seems to keep me down, I over think things, and am learning to really live in the now, it's all we all have.

2015 was full of ups and downs. Mostly downs. Did make a few good memories.

I hope 2016 brings more stability with less depression and anxiety.

Enjoyed being in a leadership program and through it started a community program. Took a great trip with a group of women. Made a Bar Mitzvah for my youngest son that made him very happy. But my relationship problems with my husband and mother persist. I crashed into major depression the last four months of this year.

Need to end those conflicts in 2016. I just need to shut my mouth and leave it alone. They'll never change. I'll never get the love and contentment I need. I just have to cope.

It was great and it sucked all at once. Got married to an awesome woman and we bought a modest little condo together. On the bad side my career is taking a dive and it's making me an unfocused forgetful mess.

I want to save more, less carbs intake, and do exercise more this coming New Year. Let us start the year with positive thoughts..

2015 wasn't the best.
I went the whole year unemployed, and suffered major depression around Easter time and into the summer after a surprising move happened.
Christmas time was just stressful, and new years eve full of chaos.

I'm ready to start fresh, but I don't want to set too many goals and get overwhelmed like I always do.

Starting therapy was a big goal for me and I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes me. Hopefull helps me get back to work.

Best wishes to you all! I hope every one of you has a good year

Business improvements that's what I wish for. I been doing a taxi business in Irving and doing fine. I want to be the best on my business this year, to give quality, affordable, and fast taxi booking. Competition are everywhere, when you are giving your best service, it makes me satisfied for who I am.

It was good. The highlight of the year was securing a clockmaker's apprenticeship. It was an opportunity I couldn't turn down. I left university to pursue this and absolutely love it. I thought I would never work. This opportunity proved that I was very wrong about that.
