I've been really really happy recently. I was at a real low at the end of high school, stopped caring about my appearance, stopped trying to make new friends, stopped getting invited to parties, lost a ton of confidence, etc. I copped depression and all that shit, spent most of my free time on reddit and I couldn't sleep at night. It got to an all time high around February this year and November last year. I ended up having a breakdown after graduation because I suffered so much in high school. It was not an enjoyable experience.
But recently, since starting uni and moving away, I've been on the come up. Made a ton of new friends who I can connect to, I like and can have deep conversations with me. Just an overall great support system with people I can open up to and release all my worries upon without the slightest bit of judgement. I've been partying more and I'm having a lot more fun with these people. I've spent a lot less time on Reddit, more time studying of course but also more time hanging out and more time sleeping. I've also been more motivated to work on me. I'm glad to say my depression is for the most part gone
Over the span of 3-4 months, I've revamped my entire wardrobe, took a little inspiration from r/streetwear and r/malefashionadvice but not too too much because I wanted to dress somewhat unique to myself. Shoutout to my mom for funding this even though I tried to do it as cheaply as possible. Recently, I also paid 30$ for a really good haircut, probably the best haircut I've ever gotten, another shoutout to my barber, big tip next time if I get some action. Bought a new cologne too (Adidas Moves if you wanna know how I smell). I've probably gone from a 6 in my depression phase to an 8.5 now solely because I've slept more, regained confidence, and spent a little more money on clothes. Last month, I made out with a girl for the first time since breaking up with my ex a year and a half ago and the girls I've been talking to have been getting cuter and cuter. This is a huge change from high school where I barely talked to girls altogether. Much more success with the ladies and much more confidence in myself.
It might just look like I'm rambling and being materialistic and you might not really care about this all that much but this really means the world to me. I've learned first hand that you can beat depression. I'm truly thankful to everyone around me that has helped me on this journey and I'm 100% never going to forget what each of you did for me. To those that read the whole thing, I hope I'm bringing a little wholesomeness and satisfaction to your day. To those that didnt:
