Had depression in my teens for a while, and for a few years in my early twenties. Was easier in my twenties because I self medicated with alcohol. Lost a lot of friendships and jobs during that period of my life, have a lot of regrets when I think about that time to be honest. I shut off a lot of emotions as a coping mechanism.

These days however, perfectly fine. I definitely think that finding a goal, in this case university, helped me aim for something better. Eventually I just realized, fuck it, do what I want and try to enjoy life. Still have a bit of a hangover from it though, emotionally I don't think I react properly to a lot of things, I'm assuming that was due to not using them for a while.
