Lately I too have been a little down and out and for the most part it really is for no good reason. I don't suffer from clinical depression but do have panic disorder and OCD but both my therapist and doctor say I have great coping skills. For me I usually get depressed when I'm bored, especially bored at work as I really enjoy being challenged. And well lately it's been a bit slow.
But I am awesome because I have so much going for me that it is easy to forget and focus on the few things I don't have. So I decided to create this post just celebrate and be happy for the following:
1. have a loving family and great friends
2. have an awesome job working in games
3. i get paid well and have health insurance
4. i live in san francisco and have an awesome apartment
5. i have a car and can get around on my own
6. did i mention i produce games for living?!?!?! and sometimes complaining about it doesn't give me much sympathy from friends (in a good way, all jobs have issues regardless of what it is but yeah i literally get to play games all day if I need to)...and was actually paid to relocate to CA from TX to do it.
7. i have faith in God that he will provide all things to me when i'm ready and that he forgives me when I try to rush his plans along.
8. my left knee is getting better after a year and I KNOW I will ride a bike someday soon.
9. have a great boss who lets me leave to doctors appointments and work from home without having to take time off or feel guilty.
10. i'm glad to be apart of this community and know I can come here and people will "get it".
I hope no one takes this as me bragging because I'm not at all, just recognizing how much Ive done and accomplished. Lately I've been wanting a new job for no real reason, complained that its hard to get around but yet I have a car, handicap placard (and wheelchair if needed), wanting more money even though I'm paid more than the average family and I'm just one person. And I too get down about not having someone special in my life and it definitely can suck but I really could have NO ONE. At least now I have family and friends who really care about me. And well that bike thing will happen...I will ride again. And I know for a fact I am not the only one. I know everyone on here is awesome at something or their situation.
That's all :)
