I just want to rant.

This time last year was probably the lowest point of my life. I was unhappy with my life, then I got fired for reasons outside of my control, and all my depression just consumed me and I just wanted to die.

But, this year, I decided I didn't want to be consumed by pity. I got up and found someone that loves me and supports me. Then I got such an amazing job that only has me working Monday-Friday and so many benefits. And, they see so much potential in me. They made me assistant supervisor of the department after only being there 4 months. And, I'm thinking I've never been so happy in life. This is too perfect.

But, this looming threat that my work permit won't be renewed in time is in the back of my head. I have to put so many plans on hold. I have to prepare for the worst. And, I need to be mentally strong. I can't go back to being consumed by depression. Just like there were bad time, there are good times; everything is temporary; this too shall pass.

Congrats cutie so proud of you. Stop thinking of things that are out of your immediate control and enjoy the moment. I know it sucks, especially coming from a person who is a schedule and a goal oriented freak.

Hang in there. I'm on the same boat, and it sucks, but as you said, we've triumphed before. We can all get through this as well.

In times of trouble, this always comforts me:
