For 4s - going to One - setting goals, keep steady at it, busy and active gets rid of depression and the low side living of four. I have been so depressed and stressed lately - moved five times just this last month - but decided to not 'give up' and instead keep going - so I kept going- and finally did something big I never did before - I signed a whole year lease for rent - the first time my entire life - I have graduated from living in sleeping rooms to getting my own studio apartment with my own bathroom and sink for the first time my whole life! 11" by 11" it's huge! It's the biggest place I've ever lived all on my own! it was scary signing the 12 mo. lease - always payed weekly (or nightly) before - never 12 mo.s before! Perhaps many of you will laugh - but for me - it is a big huge step towards getting more normal and healthier and self- able and competent in life - BIG and HUGE step up in life for me. I am also thinking about getting my own phone for 12 mo.s straight as well! BIG step in the right direction for me. It feels so weird. But I am not going to let the fear and feeling small and helpless and powerless (low side 4)get in my way anymore - it's time I start moving up and forward in my life - it feels good to integrate positively - and I'm going to keep doing it - I hope all of you do too - if not, you really should - it feels good - it is healthier and you will feel better about yourself too! :)
