Answer 3

Everyone thought I had it all... but in my mind, a very powerful thing, I wasn't living up to my own expectations and it really got me down.  Turned to drugs to escape myself.. and in the short term I thought it worked... long term I was wrong. The depression just got worse. So in a wake up moment, I found that people in my circle had no interest in my well being, only my habit... sometimes it takes something major to happen to realise this, unfortunately.  So i looked for the true people, usually family, and a few (three) friends, who had my best interests at heart and truthfully cared.  I moved away and cut all communication with the dark side... but you have to really want this or the circle will follow you. Life is a great gift and such a shame to waste in sorrow, self pity or drugs (including the ones the doctor gives you). In short, Get outside and live!!!
