Hi Everyone,

During the past four years, my life has been some type of BIPOLAR event, One day I’m happy, the next I feel like the world could just come to an end.
In the year 2012 I fell into a severe depression state and was put on anti-depressants for six months. This was mainly due to the break up I had with my long term boyfriend of about 5 years and the late mourning of my deceased Dad.

I had a major emotional break down, one of which I thought would be the end of me. I am a very introvert person so I am always on my own minding my own business.
The depression experience was gruesome, something I would never wish upon anyone, during this my self esteem was no where to be found, my purpose of life was unknown and everything I did then felt worthless. I felt ugly from inside out and all I wanted to do was “NOTHING” because I felt like a rotten potato! I blamed people around me for not telling me life would be this difficult.

After months on this very expensive anti-depressant medication (I was a student by then) my life started to change for the better. At a tender age of 23, I feel like I have lived to the age of 50 or more because of the events of my life. One thing I learned during that state was that I am very in touch with myself, in terms of my feelings and emotions. When I am high, I am VERY HIGH (as in very active) and when I am low, I am VERY LOW (emotionally).

So this one time I was soo LOW, I went to the internet and searched for answers as to why I felt this way, then I came to this amazing site TINY BUDDHA, from then on, I have started to put into perspective everything that happens or whatever I do, I have learned to rely less and expect less from people and it has been such a relief.

I just want to acknowledge the team running this site, although you might not see it, but you have a huge impact on peoples lives…You guys have precious hearts and I pray that you be blessed through out your lives.
