Hey there, Internet!

So I realize that I kind of suck at keeping a blog. Luckily I'm writing for just myself, so there's really no reason to apologize since I'm really the only person who will read this. Anyway, a lot of things have happened since November 18, 2011. Basically the first part of December I lost my mind and was. . . hospitalized, for three days. I was in a ward, with older people that had mental problems, where I was kind of forced to think about my life and my problems, and come to terms with things. It was an okay experience. It was the first time I talked to an actual psychiatrist about my feelings and he diagnosed me with Major Depressive Disorder. A month later I came back for an appointment with the psychiatrist and he recommended that I start psychotherapy, so I started seeing a therapist every week for about a month. That helped too. He helped me focus on good things in my life and talked to me about setting goals and looking forward to reaching those goals. One of those goals I set was to get back to Texas, which I have accomplished. I received quite a bit of money back on my income tax check this year and with that money I moved back to Texas. Since being back I have been happier. Still stressed, because I'm not me without stress (I really wish I wouldn't stress as much, I just can't help it.) Oh, another thing that has changed since the last time I wrote anything on here. I have a boyfriend. My best friend Nikk asked me out on New Years and since then we've been together. I'm really happy with him. He's been one of the only people in my life to always accept me for who I am. He understands that I stress and he's always there to help me feel better. He makes me feel loved every day and I'm so thankful that we decided to give this a shot. So before this turns into an "Ashley loves her boyfriend soooo much" blog I'm going to go. So until next time random person who will come across this, until next time.
