For me, I never thought I’d see my 20s. Because growing up, I was a very unhealthy overweight kid and teenager growing up. I had heard of people not making it to their young adult lives because of being plagued by numerous health issues, being overweight one of them.
The age I am today (mid 30s). I’ve been dealing with depression basically my whole life, and while I’ve never been actively suicidal, I never really had a knack for planning years into the future because I figured for some reason or another I wouldn’t be here, so what was the point? I’m doing a little better; these days my mentality is more “I’ve made it this far, might as well continue.” I give myself little things to look forward to.
It’s kind of funny to me that this question popped up, because my best friend and I were talking about this just last night lol.
