Back about 20 months ago I started college and fight against with everything, such as classes and friends. I quickly became depressed and angry at myself for not being able to do better in school and having no1because of poor communication skills.
Things kept that way2my 19th birthday. My parents sent me a cake, which was a great cake. But I remember having this large cake but certainly3to share it with. I ended throwing the cake away after having one piece. That night I was so depressed that I4to go 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 was6of what I was able to do. The next night I did the same. I wasn't good at running so I couldn't run7, but you know that I went outside and did something. A month went by and I kept running and8swimming. Finally, I even9to go to the gym, where I used to be afraid.
Looking back I can see that10helped me be away from my depression. However, it didn't11do that. At the gym I began to make friends and12everything with them. Back at my college, I became13to see people playing Super Smash Brothers and ask if I could join.
So go forward to the present now. I exercise every day, and look forward to that hour and a half when I can do14I love with people who love it as well. I hope this helps someone who may be or have been in a15situation.
