Big deal for me. [View all]

I've been avoiding it for years, but I finally have my drivers permit. (On my first try!)

I was stuck in this mind set that I didn't want anything to change in my life, even though it was dragging me down and doing horrible things to me. Being stuck in the same routine can do that to a person.

Now... I don't know. I'm hoping this isn't one of those goals that you think, "well now I'll be totally normal!" when it doesn't really fulfill your life like that when it happens. I've been doing great, considering what my condition was a few years ago.

What I hate about doing better, is what I'm sure everyone here hates: "Am I better because of my pills, or because my attitude towards things has changed?" I think it's both, but it doesn't make that thought any easier.
