Man I did the same thing from 2009 until early 2014. Kept letting stupid chicks break my heart. Instead of wondering why I was so co-dependent, I just chased more chicks and got more bummed out. Quit doing all of the things that made me who I was. I was just all around miserable. Nearly flunked out of college and pushed all of my real friends and family away by being a f***ing dirtbag. Finally hit rock bottom and ended up coming off of a mean Xanax addiction inside of a jail cell.
I can honestly say that getting arrested was the best thing that EVER happened to me. Had I not, I'd still be in the same place doing the same s*** with the same idiots. Spent 2 weeks in there and by the end of it I was happier than I'd been for the last 4 years. It really puts things in perspective when you've got nowhere to go but up.
When I got out of jail I decided it was time to stop ****ing around and live up to my real potential. I'm smart, funny, and determined. People like me and I work hard. I lost sight of all of that in the midst of depression. I stopped feeling sorry for myself the day I sobered up in jail.
Since then I've gotten a sick job, made a 4.0 in the last 3 semesters since I went back, finished up my probation and gotten the arrest expunged, made up with all of my family and friends, travelled a bunch, and started reading and riding my dirtbike again. Best of all, I'm F***ING STOKED TO BE ALIVE.
I know it's hard to see right now, but you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't turn your life around! If I can come back from the hole I dug myself, you can get you're s*** in order!
Edit: if you eat s***ty food before bed you will feel like a piece of s*** when you wake up. Lost 100 pounds over the last two years by giving up fast food and alcohol.
