So I've had depression and anxiety for a long time and I've really struggled with them Esp since leaving high school. But in the last year or so I've gotten medication, cut some toxic people out of my life and while it still feels like I've lost years of my life in the black hole that is depression, I'm able to get through the day and make plans with some idea of a future in mind. 

Hence, I've just moved 8 hours away from home to get my post grad. And it's only been about 2 weeks but for the most part I've been coping really well. Going to my lectures, regular sleep patterns, making sure I'm fed and even running every other night! Me from 2 years ago couldn't have imagined indepently managing all that. 

I have had some trouble with many friends. My anxiety really manifests in some serious avoidance techniques. I know it's early days and that I just need to keep going to classes and being friendly where I can but it just feels too hard.  Like I'm already carrying enough.  And like I can't complain to my friends back home because I made this decision. I decided to leave so it's on me. They'd never say that mind you, it's just how I'd feel. 

I'm just trying to frame it all in a positive way and remain proud of how much I have done, which honestly even writing this out made me realise. 

I guess any advice or support would be appreciated. Just gotta keep on going I suppose.
