any cool stories that you have despite all the bad things?

my year was ok, i was at college and went on a nice holiday and a festival as well, the holiday was amazing though and i managed to go snorkelling and scuba diving,

i also opened up my flat to guests and made a bit of money, the people who stayed were very nice too, also did bible study (and loved it) mainly because i have an open mind

but the main thing about this year was getting my new flat bc i was so lucky i got this place its unbelievable like i remember walking past my flat before i knew i was getting it and i thought ‘i’d love one of these but i’d never get offered one’ but then i did and i couldn’t believe it

It is great you have an open mind. This year I have also finished reading from Joshua to 2 Kings… but still almost 75% of the Bible to go.

In regards to your poll, no, I don’t want pizza, I want latte, can I have one please?

My year has been a good year,better than I had expected.I chose a good year.The first half of the year I was busy with football and also continue my exercising.I was recommended by my psychiatrist to do CBT and I did it and while doing therapy I was encouraged to join meetup and I did because I had listened to my psychologist…The 2nd half of the year I was busy meeting new people and finally had some socialize I had always hoped for…it could have been better as I had some problems from October till now,so I need to get back to therapy…

Hope in 2016,it will be a better year for everyone here,my friends and family members

I chose bad year. start of the year I was back to uni and failing due to an inability to focus and anxiety. They put me on sertraline and I became psychotic again (perhaps manic) and started using drugs till I overdosed and would of died if my friend wasn’t there to call an ambulance. I was in hospital during the end of year exams so I had to drop out of uni for a second time and now I live at home with my mum and have hardly anything to do with my time

Hope everything goes better next year, you sure sound like you could use some good faery dust

This is boring, but a big deal to me. I simply switched the time of day I took abilify to the morning instead of night. And it made a positive difference.

Also I discovered l-theanine, which helps me a great deal.

Like I said, boring, but a big deal for me.

It’s been a see-saw…

Some up… some down…

Sometimes I’m standing in the center… with the sides around me in constant movement.

What ever the year was… I’m still here.

My year could have been better, it started off okay, my parents and younger siblings moved into a new house in the spring, leaving me and the oldest of my younger sibs to live in my home. My GSD husky mix fathered a litter of 7 puppies, the mom ended up in my care after her owners’ children tried to convince a judge they were incompetent to live alone, in a bid to get control of their money (the kids ended up facing charges after it came to light they had huge gamboling debts and they posted on FB that they had found a way to pay off those debts) the puppies were born in my room (in my favorite reading chair of all places) and my dog was in love with them right away, he helped to take care of them the whole time, then when the puppies were 4 weeks old momma dog suffered an episode of what is called Post-Partum Aggression (similar to what makes human mothers ill their babies) she attacked her puppies, breaking the upper palate of one of them, but they all recovered and suffered very little mental scarring. My mom adopted the youngest of the litter, named Seven, who looks just like his dad, and her friend who does Animal Rescue adopted the oldest, name Hoshi (Japanese for Star) the other pups all found homes too. Then when Seven was 14 seeks old he was diagnosed with an intussusception or a telescoping bowel, we thought he would for a while, but we found a vet who was willing to do the surgery on a payment plan. In the summer my uncle’s home was condemned after someone drove into it, and he and one of my other uncles had to move in with me and my brother, neither has a job, nor seems to want one, and are still mooching off me, at Thanksgiving I lost my license after my Ex girlfriend claimed I was living with her and that I had been drinking when I crashed her car (it was really her current boyfriend but he was on strike three so they blamed it on me) I proved to the court I could not have been driving, as I was at an appointment with my shrink at the time of the accident, but they still have not reinstated my license, and to top it off the garbage truck smashed into my truck snapping the rear axle in half. Because the man driving the garbage truck was not an employee, but a friend of the usual driver, their insurance is saying they don’t have to pay, so even if I got my license back I wouldn’t have a car to drive anyway.

And for Christmas I got a text from GFs roommate telling me to come over right away, I got there in time to catch my GF with her Ex in bed. To spite her, I have started dating her roommate, who I originally wanted to be with anyway but who was in a relationship at that time (I am a bad man, I know) To top it all off, back in Oct. my best friend from high school committed suicide after seeing FB pictures of her husband sleeping with her drugged sister, she was 7 months pregnant, they did save the baby, but the father doesn’t want her, or her older sister, and my other friend from high school (the girl I dated for most of my time in school who left me because I was too depressing to be around) is taking care of both of them.

So yeah my year was pretty bad, but not outright horrible, in fact as I type this I am cuddled with the foster puppies I agreed to take on this winter, and its hard to be depressed when you are snuggling with puppies.

The Bad Year Blimp reared its ugly head for me.

Sorry, I just wanted to make a reference to an obscure Mystery Science Theater 3000 joke.

I was very productive and got back in actual shape- I can now run as well as move objects at rest with ease.

More like kick someone’s ass with one leg while on a treadmill.

But really, my degree is almost done with top honors and I am waiting to hear back from grad schools. I can run again and am still pretty buff- in really good shape.

I could use some other parts of life being as strong. Like a girlfriend…or boyfriend…most of my friends have partners and I don’t. I did for the first half of the year. And I’m still poor. Good thing is that I am still smart and also physically scary I mean fit.

And I went from two packs a day to usually one or two cigarettes a day. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to run a few miles a few times a week in addition to strength training.

I made lots of good grades and crap. My research wasn’t destroyed- that’s a plus. It often happens to people who attempt what I have done by this point.
