Back about 20 months ago I started college and fight against witheverything, such as classes and friends. I quickly became depressed and angryat myself for not being able to do better in school and having no1becauseof poor communication skills.
Things kept that way2my 19th birthday. My parentssent me a cake, which was a great cake. But I remember having this large cakebut certainly3to share it with. I ended throwing thecake away after having one piece. That night I was so depressed that I4togo outside to the low temperature of winter. I put my earphones in my ears,went outside and5about 2 miles at 11 p.m. on my birthday.
When I got back inside I was satisfied. I was6ofwhat I was able to do. The next night I did the same. I wasn't good at runningso I couldn't run7, but you know that I went outside anddid something. A month went by and I kept running and8swimming.Finally, I even9to go to the gym, where I used to beafraid.
Looking back I can see that10helped me be away from mydepression. However, it didn't11do that. At the gym I began to makefriends and12everything with them. Back at mycollege, I became13to see people playing Super SmashBrothers and ask if I could join.
So go forward to the present now. I exercise every day, and look forwardto that hour and a half when I can do14I love with people wholove it as well. I hope this helps someone who may be or have been in a15situation.
