Hey friends, I dont normally post long, thought-provoking statuses but I thought Id give it a shot. Recently Ive been in a huge rut and I couldnt seem to get out of it. Midterms, money problems, assignments, relationship troubles, lab reports -- I couldnt see past it all. And of course nobody knew of the dark places I go to in my mind because Ive always been terrified of scaring the people I love away. So I just sat in my own desperation and wasted the days away feeling sorry for myself. Things kept seeming to get worse and worse because I put off so many things and rejected any help from my friends. One day a couple weeks ago I decided to just accepted the fact that my life was a disaster and that it was too late to get it back on track. Sounds lame, but one small act of kindness changed everything. My professor in a class that I was failing because I decided not to write the midterms (apparently too busy sitting in my room feeling shitty) walked by me and recognized who I was and told me that he wasnt going to count the midterms and let me continue in the class from that point on. I realized holy shit... something good just happened to me. So I went to the library and started studying, happy as a clam because I finally felt like not only bad things happen to me. Its crazy how that small thing literally changed my whole life. So what I took from this is that tiny things can literally save someones life. Just because the stigma on mental illness is getting better doesnt mean it doesnt hurt as much. Tell the people close to you that you love them on a regular basis and buy them candy. These little things will go a really long way. Love you all
