[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686170, member: 20267"] I do. Unfortunately, just about every aspect of my life was a trigger. There was very few positive things to say about me, or the way I lived. While my friends were like family, we fed off each other, and amplified each other. Unintentionally making us all that much worse. I have essentially destroyed my life, and am in the process of rebuilding it. I had to go all the way to the foundations. After my mom died, and I was on my own, I dropped out of school. Worked when I could, but spent most of the time partying, with one girl to the next. I didn't have anything even resembling a normal, healthy, consistent life. No routine, no real accountability. I may as well still be the 16 year old kid I was. I had no real goals, nothing to really look forward to. I was simply existing. So, yeah... Starting from the ground up, really. Trying to avoid that entire way of life. Right now, I am home a lot. Helping to take care of my 2 year old niece. Slowly regaining drive and motivation and..... Optimism. That was something else I never had. It's a slow process, and since my triggers were just about EVERY aspect of my life, I am starting from essentially nothing. [/QUOTE]
