Best
2018 and 2016
And most of 2017 and parts of 2019.

I was working consistently then and I just felt really good and I was able to go on vacations.

The 2004-2005 school year was also really good.

Worst, in order:
2007- in and out of the hospital every 3 weeks. In treatment
2010: was in a horrible treatment center
2006- having trouble in school, going to the hospitals for the first time, went into treatment. Grandma died.
2015: dealt with a lot of **** with a bad therapist, a bad job, a hospitalization, my mom got sick, the dog died, and I got my wisdom teeth out
2020: for obvious reasons. Also I‘ve noticed a decline in my mental health.

best: any age where I was a baby or a toddler

I may have been abused heavily by my parents, but it's the only time where I can look back and laugh and things.

for example: I always hated the high chair and pushed the tray over

I always called my bottle boc boc and my dummy a doe doe

and I just loved having nothing to worry about- I'd go back to those times in a heartbeat (just living with a diffrent family)

worst times- oh so many
Possible trigger:


being diagnosed with fibro and realising that my body was frajile

becoming severely incontinent

being told I can't come back to school, as I missed so much due to hospital visits

so many more..

being told that I couldn't work

braught an abrupt end to my dream of becoming a theme park engineer.

(that, and having no engineer qualification)

I dont know where to put the best
Possibly 2008 or 2009 if i just knew how to manage things better
I was in my early twenties

Worst, ah
2004 (severe teen crisis that i think made me developped side disorders like a form of schizoid personality, dissociation along with visible depression), and possibly everything after 2015 because i lost a lot of people and job
Last two were really hard and almost surreal

I've been a messed up person
I regret it but can understand it just now

Worst: 1994-2007 computer engineering career ended. Depression & anxiety hit. Career kept me from realizing how really bad my marriage actually was. Tried to end my life I can't remember how many times during those years.

BEST: 2007- NOW left my marriage, bought my wonderful little farm 2100 miles away & started life over again in a little town where I knew no one. Have made the best friends, habe been happy & at peace for the first tome in all my life. This is exactly what I always thought life should be like.....& I finally found the place I really love to be living alone with all my fur babies & even better, my dream I never gave up on was having my horse with me on my own farm, a dream I had from as young as I can ever remember. Life is wonderful!!!!

1998 is up there, married, new baby - it was an amazing year. ♥️

So far 2020 is a contender, although 2012 I struggled badly with depression, until 2020 I would have said that one.

Best - 19987-1991 in university. Had an amazing experience, loved every second of it.

Worst - ages 14-18. This was a year after my Mom died and my Dad started dating and married a woman who was an absolute B towards me. I basically wasn't allowed out of the basement and had to be out of the house as much as possible.

There've been a couple of other years that are up there in contention for worst, but my teens still win.

My high school years in the late '70's - as long as I was at school, not at home. Great times!

Best years, I feel they were from age 2 - 10
10 - 17 not great, various reasons
17 - 18 better
19 - 32, mostly awful, mostly because of my job
32 - now, doing better

The best would be 2019 because we had so much fun during our vacation and the worst would be 2020 because of the pandemic we can't go out that much during the summer.

My best years were/are:

Teenage years - I did a lot of fun things, was active and had friends
30's - I traveled a lot, did fun things and met cool people
50's - I read a lot and have grown emotionally so that the little things now mean the most

I can't really say because life is a natural roller coaster. The early to mid 90's were terrible for money. My teen years were wonderful for my involvement in horses, but torture because of school. The best time is actually now for finances, but my friend is not doing well health-wise. I view him as a father figure, and his imminent death will go hard on me. I DESPISE my job, but I like the money. So it is ALL good and bad.

The ages of 16-22 were awesome. I got to do so many wonderful things, and travel; it was bliss.

After the death of my mother when I was 24, everything seemed to slowly unravel in my life. I believe the pain of that, and what it did to my family, helped the development and ferocity of my depression which slowly took over everything up until 2007, when I was finally diagnosed, and started receiving treatment.

It's been a bumpy 13 years, but I feel more on top of things, now. And I feel so much wiser.

I'd love it if the last part of my life had some nice surprises in store.

Well, considering it was pretty much downhill from the time I've had reason, so 8-10 would be the best and now,
Possible trigger:
