Hi all! I have a sort of tradition of starting these threads, so I'll do it also this year
So, this year has been overall quite good for me...the principal thing is that I finished my post-graduation apprenticeship and I had some good and useful experiences with it. I have been accepted into a new course and I began attending it, I like it so far. My driving anxiety became much less, I had began working on it also before this year but now I practiced a lot and it's going much better. Plus the good little things that happen daily. So, despite some stressful things that happened, I have also things to be happy about
Looking forward to knowing about you

This has been a good year for me also as I have been more aware every day is a gift. My wife and I celebrated our 40th anniversary in November and celebrating sticking together through rough and smooth paths. Also a number of years ago cancer seemed to make my wife a widow at this time. So glad for all the great things that I have enjoyed because of the turn around. Here's hoping for a great 2018 for all

I am glad that I'm still around, without my GF I don't know if I still would be.

2017 was a terrible year, but I do have some gratitude. I'm thankful for my spouse, kids, family and friends. They have loved me when I couldn't love myself. I'm thankful for all of the professionals who helped keep me alive this year. I'm thankful for the people I met on the psych ward for making me feel normal. Looking at this I guess I am thankful for people this year.

I also had a bit of a rough 2017 but I am glad I got out of a relationship with a fiance to be that could have been a seriously burdensome and tough marriage.

I have struggled a lot with depression and anxiety this year but I am so grateful we finally got to visit my sister who lives out of state and we had a great time with her and her family.

2017 sucked *** for me. Mostly because of the situation at my former employer and the discrimination, which I am now suing them for.

A lot of people tell me, "Well, at least you don't have to work there anymore and deal with those people..." That's ********. It was no blessing in disguise. I loved my job. I enjoyed what I did. Yes, I had some issues with some co-workers, but it doesn't mean I didn't want or enjoy my job. And yes, now I am starting my own consulting firm, but that's not because of them or anything they did. That's out of necessity I have to be working and making money.

I know the ******** supervisor who laid me off thinks that I should be thanking her, but I don't know why I should thank someone for ruining my life and discriminating against me. For gaslighting and lying to me and about me.

Nothing all that good happened this year. It was just a continual struggle and fight to survive.

My life is so much more settled than it was last year at this time. Hopefully over the worst of it and now for some peaceful healing time.
