I was going to live and work in Vanuatu teaching English for 6 months for my gap year between year 12/uni but got sick 3 months before and couldn't go - that is what I would love to do.

I would love to live in Europe for a while, but I will still do that, I'll just do it when I'm better. You're not old Jess, you can still learn the guitar and play in a band, it might just have to wait a bit until you're better too. Depression isn't a life sentence if you don't let it be.

And gyps, WHY would I say anything about your boob in regards to what I would do if I didn't have dep? I mean it was a lovely boob, but seriously!

Really thought about this. Nothing much different, though it all would have been a hell of a lot easier.
I would have gone away a couple of weeks ago as planned though if I didn't have depression so that's one thing I would certainly change.

This is such a moving question rose.

For me my depression came only a few years ago and if I didnt get it I wonder if I would have accepted my loss ofeyesight? Would I have fought so hard to retain my lifestyle, would I have worked so hard to find a better me in the midst of all of this?

In a sense what I am saying (and I am sure Gyps would agree here) is that my depression has allowed me to come to terms with who I was, am and will be.

I was running so fast forward to leave my childhood memories and teenage torment. Loosing my sight made me stop doing that.

Thanks Rose a great question adn a good one to ponder further


regards

Jess

What a great question!!!!

If I was well, I would like to be working in my old job and not be scared about getting out of my house.

Thanks for getting us to think about options Jess.

Go Jess!!!
