Reflect on your 2018. Was it good? Bad? What made it that way? What will you do in 2019 that won’t make it a repeat of last year? Dump it all here. There’s no turning back. 2018 was a good year for me overall. My mental health made tremendous leaps and bounds. I started working on myself and getting to know me. I got back into interests previously lost by depression and other mental illnesses. I found solace in solitude. I found happiness in the mundane. I made all sorts of new friends and connections, ones that I am thankful for. It was a busy year. A tough year. But it was a happy year, too. So thank you, 2018. Thank you for treating me well.
2018 was a really rough year for me, but I’m proud that I made it through. I was diagnosed with anxiety/depression and had to move cross country for my dad’s job, which kind of dampened the mood of the year for me. Nevertheless some really great things happened! I got back into art, and little by little I’m starting to get back into classical literature also. I posted a fanfiction which I adore writing, and I’ve made some new friends. On top of that, I’m now an LV mentor which I feel really good about. In the New Year I want to keep spreading kindness and positivity more often. It may sound simple but I’ve found that filtering of my negative thoughts can help alter my mindset into a more productive and happy one.
2018 has been...a year. I've had better (2010-12) but I have had significantly worse (2014-16, 2016 in particular was the worst year of my life so far) and I feel that it's been a year of reflection and adjustment than it has of big dramatic change; that was 2017. I've been getting used to my job, planning grander things - some of which I would very much like to put into motion in 2019 if I am able - and trying to maintain the status quo and maybe improve on it in small, gradual ways. There was a lot of self-discovery and self-analysis last year, and whilst I have no idea whether the positives outweigh the negatives, that I am NOT sure of this is a very good sign, because I am the most pessimistic and cynical person I know of. The summer was awful. AWFUL. That is one thing I will not forget anytime soon, unless 2019 outdoes it...which I pray it doesn't. Six weeks of temperatures in the mid to high 20s without a single drop of rain...save the tears of frustration and exhaustion shed by me as I suffer from headaches, nausea, and insomnia significantly worse than what I am used to. I did not enjoy summer. What will I do in 2019 to avoid repetition? Honestly, I can't answer this until March/April, because that is when my health is being reassessed for benefits, and also when my pay for my job is due to see a substantial increase. Which way they both go will determine my life moving forward for the rest of the year, really. There is the possibility that I will be facing things by myself for the first time in 6 years again, so that could be a pretty big, scary change. Or I could go the other way and receive additional support to see if I can address my health concerns in another fashion. Either way, things will change. 2019 is a blank to me right now, and I'm content to let it be for the moment. I have appointments next week to discuss things, so I'll see how those go and roll with it from there.
it's been good! i still suffer from anxiety but it is more selective and much better than before thanks to the medication/relaxants i've started taking. =) managed to amass quite a bit of money in my savings throughout 2018 as well, which i am quite proud of. also adopted a new kitten who is very important to me. but the most precious thing is the new relationship i formed in late september with an amazingly kind and loyal guy who also shares similar interests to me. it is the highlight of my year by a long shot. <3 am quite hopeful for 2019!
Super super late but 2018 was a rollercoaster Had my first breakup February 13th, was horribly depressed from then until June when I met my second bf, became a furry in April and discovered how happy my sona made me and others, graduated in May, turned 18 in September, got my first job in October
2018 was all over the place for me, but it was a big improvement over what came before. I got bullied more, lost my cat, made more friends, opened up on Internet communities like this one, and finally improved my self esteem. If I had to the ability to change anything, I wouldn’t have gotten my hopes up on people who didn’t reciprocate my feelings. Could’ve saved a lot of energy that way.
