where you are now, vs. where you were back then; only you know how much or how less it helped you, even when you are no longer one but two.
a reality check statement, perhaps.
this is when people, if they do, may reflect back on a relationsip history and really see themselves as honestly as they can.
in general, who would it might apply to & how will that person help him /her self now?

Re: ONE & A HALF YEAR PASSED : your life is changed
Its as though you are directing the question to me. Because the last approx 1 1/2 years have been so turbulent, but I have discovered a strength and a way to deal with situations that i never would have otherwise. I have found immense support in family, friends and even strangers...made new friends and athough the situation is messy, somehow I feel good about myself...that all will work out well Inshallah.
They say we are like a tea bag...never know our strength until we are put in hot water!!
Re: ONE & A HALF YEAR PASSED : your life is changed
thats a good quote....
1,5 years ago, suddenly my depression began, I realised I could never have my diploma I had worked so hard for, I would never find a job, and I kept having bad memories in my thoughts. Last year, I wanted to stop being a Pakistani and a Muslima because of my family. I had family problems because of marriage problems, since 1995 I didn't have real peace because of that. And all those things came back in my memories and made it difficult for me. Last year, was difficult. But I was even more sad, when I tried to let go religion, I couldn't, so the positive side is, I know now, my faith is strong, I tried to do things, like being unpolite or wear clothing which is a bit revealing, things like that, I didn't like that, so I know now, that my faith is strong and my character as well. Also, I've met some people who were depressed because of problems less worse than I've had, so I know now how strong my character is. Now, after 1,5 years, I'm fine again and more realistic about my future. I've truly accepted the kind of future I will have and I'm happy again.
