I used to stay up late and just think about stuff feeling sad, if things got too much maybe I'd cry every now and then, but I don't anymore. Sure I have the odd nights of listening to sad music but I've just overcome that mindset of feeling sad. Looking back I guess I was depressed. I do more now to control my thoughts and feelings, sometimes you have to accept things and other times you have to learn how to move on, don't just let things be the awful way they are.
For me I hit a point where I just didn't care anymore, I guess you could say rock bottom. I genuinely felt like I didn't want to live any longer. I overcome it by looking in myself and deciding who I wanted to be and that giving up wasn't a choice until I gave life and my dreams a full shot… and if I get to the point of giving my dreams and life a full shot, I hope I learn something along the way to keep me going until then I just make the most of every second.
