A long time

It has been a really long time since I have written on my blog and a lot has happened.
The last six months has been a real challenge for me and I have been through a lot of changes.
Andrew and I broke and I felt like I was completely lost and had no idea what I was going to do. It was really scary for me, but I made it through and I feel stronger. I have found a great place to live with great flatmates. We have our own little international house. We are from the UK, Zimbabwe and Australia. Very cool.
I have found a great guy who treats me so well and wants me to be happy. He makes things about me and wants to do what I want to do.
I have also been very unwell for many years. Something that I knew was going on but was willing to admit that I was unwell. I have suffered from depression from many years and after I broke up with Andrew things took a bad turn. I went to the doctor to try and get better for the first time . I am on anti-depressants and I have never felt better. I have been talking to people more, seeing the doctor on a regular basis and I have been trying really hard to make myself better. For the first time in a very long time I am happy and content. I am not saying this to get sympathy but to let people know that it is okay and not a terrible illness. I felt so bad for so long and now I feel so good. But it will be a life long thing, not something that I will suddenly be better. It has been hard work and something I will have to do everyday. But it is so worth the fight.
I am looking forward to 2008 and all it has to offer.
Merry Christmas everyone and happy New Year.
