These things are tried and true, in lots of cases! It's amazing how relaxing it can be to take the time to do something outdoors.

DO NOT GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR DRUGS!!! That's a cop out! You don't need them! You can change everything, just start small.

This isn't always true. Some people DO need help balancing the chemicals in their bodies. That doesn't mean that you'll be on meds forever, it just means that you might need the help with an imbalance. There are also more natural alternatives to do so, without a prescription from a doctor.

Baby steps as they say. Don't dwell on trivial shit...if your late for work...don't sweat it, you work with your father right? Talk to him if you can, tell him what's up. If he is at all understanding, he'll be leniant. Don't worry about paying bills exactly on time! What do you think grace periods are for?!

Careful about the slacking! Once a person starts to slack with bills and work and such, they tend to begin a hole that's tough to get out of. Don't use working with your dad as an excuse for it to be okay to be late to work, etc. Maybe you need a more structured schedule for yourself. Make yourself be at work by a reasonable time each day, even if it's not until 10am. Just set the time for yourself, something that you know you can stick to. When you know what you're doing and why you're doing it, it's amazing how the body reacts!
Go on vacation for a weekend. If you have the funds, go for longer! Sometimes a person just needs a break from the norm.

You can get out of it, you don't have some crazy terminal disease, the cure is not that far away.

It may still be good for you to go see a professional though. Even if just for one consultation, or one phone call to your doctor to get a medical professional's opinion.

Find ONE THING you like and just go nuts with it...that'll give you something to wake up to....I'm giving you things to think about off the top of my head, but I think some of it could be useful. Keep us updated, and keep your head up !

Smile. Just remember to smile. It'll make your day better, whether you want it to or not.
