I am making sure I’m healthy and happy

I have always been a social person, in school I was a cheerleader and I had a big group of friends. Since I started at Seattle Pacific University I realized I became super introverted and closed off towards other people. During freshman year, I started having many doubts about my future and I battled through depression and anxiety, my depression was so bad that I lost all my friends, I cut them out of my life. I also switched my major from nursing to Psychology, the reason why I switched was because I was having a hard time taking care of myself, so I wasn’t sure how I would be able to take care of others.

I wish that people instead of seeing me as lonely, would see me as trying to focus on myself, trying to figure myself out, because that’s the truth. It may sound selfish, but I am making sure I’m healthy and happy. I have realized that even though I lost some friends, I now value the quality and closeness of my relationships. In regard to my major, I am still figuring out what to do with it, I just want to do something that in the long run makes me happy.
