You’re doing great! I also have daily problems with my back and it always gets better with training. Try swimming and TRX, it helps a lot! Be strong and fight!

Ok I will tell you a story. Some of you heard it before so you can skip it.
So I am depressed and I always been depressed. Since I remember. Everybody says that music is therapy and this is true. There is one singer and one song that helped me through a very dark moments of my life. Especially the lyrics of the chorus
I’m a riser
I’m a get off of the ground, don’t run and hider
When pushin’ comes to shove
Hey I’m a fighter
When darkness comes to town, I’m a lighter
A get out aliver, of the fire
Survivor
So I love this song so much. In 2016 this artist was playing in London. I was one of the lucky few to win the meet and greet. I was the first one in line, I got him a present. And I told him thank you for that song. Than you for the words that helped me. I could hug him and say it out loud, looking him in the eyes. It was amazing moment for me.
Then the concert began and this song wasn’t on the setlist and he decided to sing it. Despite the fact he wasn’t singing it for many shows. That night in London he did. And I was so grateful for that. I hope he will be back and I will be the lucky one to win the meet and greet again.
All I have now is the pic and memories.
And I was the only one with a gift. And he wanted to include the gift in the picture.

That is a beautiful story 
I’m happy his song was/is so helpful for you during your dark times. It’s nice having a singer or band that you feel has either been through the darkness that many of us deal with or just to have someone write something that is so uplifting.

So it’s basically two weeks into new year and I am fine.
The year started very badly for me, but this thing opened my eyes. I am happy. I have been for the past two weeks. I left behind things and people that were bringing me down. I am starting new hobby even if it makes me wanna scream and throw stuff across the room (thanks @georkost). I am looking forward to the future, surrounded by people who care. Meeting new people, finding out new soulmates. On the 1st of January I was forced to close one chapter of my life, I didn’t want to do that, but it opened the new one. Maybe not all the new stuff are bad?
I hope this mood will last for a very long time.

Hey everyone. I’m okay so far. I’m going through something and i don’t know how to start this off. But here it is my boyfriend told me that his friend grandmom think that they are together and she told hem that she going to move out because her granddaughter told her that he’s moving in the house and take over the house. She doesn’t know that he have a girlfriend .Everyone think I’m his roommate. I don’t know what to do. This is one of the reasons why i have Depression and feel like I’m not worth anything.

Talk to the guy and ask him why he’s not telling them the truth. Be honest. Just say that it is very hurtful to hear that as you are together. If he won’t do that he’s not worth you being with him. If someone’s actions are maing you depressed you should change that.

And to be honest I have told hem to stop doing that but he told me he only say that because he don’t what them in his personal life. If that was ture he won’t have cheated on me with another friend of his that i knew and i babysit he’s baby form her.
