Later- Mild Depression!

There was a time in my life when nothing had been going as it should. I struggled to get by during the week; I hated my job, I had no friends- I was just unhappy. I had been working for close to a year as a receptionist. I was unhappy with the meagre earnings and minimal benefits. Remuneration aside, I just hated my job. None of the activities I previously enjoyed seemed to excite me either.

At one point I even decided to end my membership at a local sports club. In addition, I felt I had no true friends- I was lonely for the greater half of millenium year (Also Known As 2000). The end result is that my spiritual life suffered. I stopped going to church and meeting with other Christians for recreational activities. I even began to doubt the existence of God. I wanted to die as I felt there was absolutely nothing to live for. I guess what really triggred these negative emotions was a deep rooted fear inside.

I was afraid of growth of taking up new challenges, of trying new places and meeting new people. As a result I felt trapped- stifled and life lost its meaning. After some deep thought I decided to grow in confidence and in all other aspects of my life. I tried new recipes for I love cooking and I took up different stimulating activities such as Ballroom Dancing.

Before I knew it, I was promoted at work due to my creativity, discovered hidden talents and zealous nature. It was not long before all other areas of my life began to fall back into place. Looking back I feel so relieved. Even though change is not always pleasant, I know I can always look forward to becoming a better, stronger person in the end.
