I am going through a very difficult year, and basically just need help finding the old me and dealing with depression.
average girl: honors student, artistic and musical, all into sports, with the sweetest boyfriend and out nonstop with friends. senior in highschool and my cousin dies, i get skin cancer and a blood disorder, my boyfriend gets severe brain cancer, my family falls apart, i take in two kids, get into drugs, push all my friends far away and am kicked off sports for grades/medical, miss so much school and am diagnosed with depression(duh). unbelieveable amount of crap.
im really just in the pit and dont know how to get out. How do i get my positivity back, all that i lost including friends, and just fix becoming this hermit and the other flaws? My interests and life are gone how do i get it back? (link)

I've never been through such difficult times, thank goodness, but I've had a fair share. My answer would be to take recovery slowly, a little bit at a time.
A phrase I heard once about saving the environment seems appropriate for most occasions: start where you are and do what you can. It'll possibly be one of those slow improvements that you can only measure by looking back over three or four months, even longer perhaps, to see any positive gain.
Perhaps you could keep a diary, logging your feelings and positive/negative aspects. This could remind you how bad things once were, but also any positive things that have happened to improve things.
I really hope this helps somewhat, although it's very poor in ideas. Let me know how you get on? Keep in touch if you think I can help at all, best wishes, C.
