How has your bf / gf / spouse changed your life?
How has your boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse changed your life? (in positive ways)
My boyfriend gave me a broader outlook on life and has helped me overcome depression.
How about you? Share your stories:]
Please o rude or unnecessary comments
Thank you:]
How has your bf / gf / spouse changed your life?
Wow. I mean, he got me out of an abusive marriage (we were friends then), worked two jobs to pay my attorney so I wouldn't lose my kids to the ex (his family had money and power in our little redneck town), adopted my kids as his own, moved me to the beach just because I always said I wanted to live there..... sharll I go on?
How has your bf / gf / spouse changed your life?
My husband has introduced to me to many different cultures--he has appreciation of all things roman, chinese and scottish, to name a few--of the %26quot;finer%26quot; things--food, music, dance....he has given me the child I have longed for and prayed for. And so much more. He is my best friend, my confidant, my one true love, my life partner. ;p
Oh, you said in %26quot;positve%26quot; ways. Never mind. onto the next question.....
How has one place you've traveled to changed your life?
Travel has had a huge impact on me before, opening my eyes and changing my perspective.
Some places I've been have affected me more than others. Where have you been that has changed you and how?
How has one place you've traveled to changed your life?
Nicaragua definitely. After going there, it opened my eyes widely. Although it is a third-world country, I loved it. There were so many friendly people, willing to help you, and everything was really well priced. Also if you want to purchase a house, they sell an entire mini island to you for only 60 thousand!
How has one place you've traveled to changed your life?
Austria.
One of the most beautiful places I've been. Absolutely loved it, and learned a lot about how their government works and their initiatives for energy that I really believe in, and wish would get implemented in the States.
Iceland, for the same reason- though it was a harder place to be because it's VERY expensive.
the only place i been to the farthest was a 4 hour ride to wildwood and made me realize that i can have the most fun no matter wat place as long as you with som1 you love.

To all the people who got or own a horse while they are still a teenager, did it change your life?
Did getting/leasing your own horse change your life and if it did how?
Do you think its affected the person you are now?
To all the people who got or own a horse while they are still a teenager, did it change your life?
I was fortunate enough to have my first pony when I was 5...I'm 16 now and there's been about 6 hours in all that time when I've had no pony and about 8 months of that time i've had multiple ponies.
it's changed my life, certainly. if i didn't have my own ponies, i'd still be riding once a week at a riding school and would probably have taken up some other sport or become extremely fat. i would have lost faith in everything - no joke ive sufferd depression and my horses are the thing that got me ththrough. i would be wondering what the future held for me.
thankfully i do have my wonderful ponies and have begun to respect myself i am riding at national level jumpin 1m10-1m20 courses on my 14.2hhs and its no longer my dream to compete pro, its my ambition. i am fitter than i would be thanks to that.
and yeah its also changed my life in small ways. i frequently lose sleep coz im thinking how i shoulda ridden that course. my phone backgrounds are photos of us jumping. my walls are covered with photos and qualification notices. my hero isnt like johnny depp or someone its geoff billington. people think im sad because i use the %26quot;im competing%26quot; excuse for everything ive missed parties gigs everything to jump.
so yeah its changed my life its hard but i cant imagine life without it. and now i understand %26quot;motherly love%26quot;, which i think is important.
oh and i also do better at school because i think ive gotta get grades to get a good job so i can afford horses lol. and that love 4 them makes you understand sad soppy poems in english lit class more!
To all the people who got or own a horse while they are still a teenager, did it change your life?
Change my life? This is what I chose to do and I followed through with it. I love horses and this is who I am so I guess it affected my life tremedously ..being able to care, love, ride horses.
Me I found owning a horse a natural thing as my grandfather was a horseman by trade so it was a natural progression for me
I was riding before I could walk so I was one of the lucky ones thanks to my grandparents
Yes, I have no time for anything except the horses.
It has definitely made me more responsible.
I got my horse for my 16th birthday.
Here are some changes it made:
I didn't get that brand new car (or any car) when I got my license
I had to get a job
My future birthday/christmas presents stopped being cool things like a new cell phone and ipods and turned into fuzzy toe socks
I frequently went to school smelling like a horse and/or with hay in my hair and/or wearing not so fashionable breeches
I suddenly became very poor
Suddenly I was %26quot;responsible%26quot; and expected to pay my horse bills
Any extra money I had in the party/car/fun stash went to my horse
He is definitely worth it and has changed my life, but I'm not so sure about the person you are now bit. He probably has in some way, but I don't know it
Not really changed it, since it is so much a part of my life and has been for a long time. I actually own three great horses and they are everything to me. I dont event, or do shows though i have considered barrel racing. We trail ride and just hang out really. They are all verymuch my best friends and kind of like my children, even if one of them is older then me(: It definetly is a great part of my life, having horses that is.
Definitely. It taught me to be more responsible and grateful for everything (especially spare time!) I have no social life, i have no birthday or Xmas presents for myself, they're all essentials for Lilly. But, it's all worth it if i'm honest. I'd rather have no spare time than too much and getting drunk, stoned and getting an asbo on the streets.
yes!! i got my first horse when i was 9. and i recently got another horse that i compete on in A shows. im 15 now. it has taught me to be really responsible and to try my hardest, especially when i am competing. my horses are the center of my world and i dont know what i would do without them!!%26lt;33
Well I got a horse when I was about 8 and as for changing my life - I'm not sure because I was always around horses and at 8 y/o I had very little life to change.
However, if you mean did it affect how I view the world or animals or learning, I guess I could answer that with a %26quot;YES%26quot; because learning to ride teaches your respect and discipline and allows you to meet people of the same interests who are different from those who do not ride.
Well, i got my frst horse when i was 13 and now ihave 2 horses and im 15. its alot of work bc im the only one in the fam who takes care of them. So have to clen the stalls, ride them, groom them, bath them, feed and water them, pay for vet/farrier, etc. it helped me bc im not doing other things like hanging with the wrong crowd of ppl or doing stuff i shouldnt be doing. And it gave me a respocibity. And it kept me busy during summer and active. But when it comes to school my school work always come frst. so i had to do my homework and study before i could go out and ride them, so yes it has changed the person i am now. And im not sitting around the house i am outide and doing something active.
I think it changed my life. Although my horse has never lived close to me, it still forces you to be more responsible. Your money does vanish a little quicker and you tend to miss social outings to go hang with your horse but I wouldn't change it for anything. I got my horse in the middle of my parents nasty divorce and I really do think I'd be a different person had I not had my horse to help me through. Maybe that sounds stupid but I find you can't really neglect yourself if you have an animal relying on you.
Do you think its affected the person you are now?

Have you ever had Moment or Situation or action change your life forever ?
Have you ever had a moment, situation or an action make you wake up open your eyes and make you change your life for the better.
All answers welcome
Have you ever had Moment or Situation or action change your life forever ?
Yep, though only a small one so far and I don't know how it happened, just woke up and realised I was living my life in a repetitive, boring kinda grey way. So decided to change, and change I did, now trying to put enjoyment in my life. That was roughly a year ago and it's going well. Hope that helped you
Have you ever had Moment or Situation or action change your life forever ?
Getting born changed my life forever. I guess dying is going to have a similar effect.
ya i was talk to this girl really lay back and relax i little out of it but think will and she was talk about her and her lover and at that point i could hear and see that she really loved him. and it change my life because i had stop believing love till i got to know her. i know it a childish but it the 1st thing that came to mind.
Yes.
I haven't gone through a moment or situation in which my life has changed afterward, but I experienced kind of situations which totally has change my thoughts and my view on myself, my life and my outlook on future and they often happened after I pondered on a defeat I had to face or the moment after I achieved one of my goals.
Yes! The day that I realized that absolutely NOTHING that we are told by the entire %26quot;news%26quot; media, can be trusted or believed was the beginning of the most fantastic journey of discovery that any human can ever undertake. Of corse, the truth - whatever that may prove to be - is obviously hidden for a very good reason. Is it really just rich people wanting to get richer, or is it something else?
Doesn't everyone have a moment or situation or action that changed my life forever? I have a great Teacher.
Yes, several times.
I was caught with my boss's sister and it changed my life for ever. Well, the situation didn't make you wake up but it look away my boss's sleep and then I had many sleepless night applying for another job.

If given the opportunity to go back and change one thing in your life, what would it be?
Also, how would this change your life as it is now?
If given the opportunity to go back and change one thing in your life, what would it be?
well, when I was in 11th grade my parents decided to move to illinois. I met a girl in 8th grade by the name of Anita Rivas. I fell in love right away and have been ever since. Her parents decided to move to Mexico about the same time as i was going to move. She knew I loved her but I never took a step forward to make any commitment. At the end of the school year she approached me and asked if I thought there was any reason she should stay here instead of move. I wanted so much to tell her yes, stay with me. But I couldn't make myself tell her. Since I had to move with my parents to a diff. state, I figured it wouldn't be fair to her, to expect her to have a long distance relationship. I was heart broken and very very depressed for a long time and still am to an extent. That was 15 years ago!!! Since then I've never seen or heard from her. I've searched and searched and I can't find her. I've had one little girl who is now nine years old and had one very bad relationship with my daughters mother. I figure i was meant to have my daughter!!!! I just had her with the wrong woman!!! It should have been Anita. Then my daughter would've known what it was like to grow up in a family that has a mother and father that actualy love each other. My friends tell me to forget about her, but my best friend tells me not too!! I feel like my life will never be complete. I miss her!!! People ask how do you know your in love for real...true love...for me it was asking myself all the questions you ask yourself about a person you are interested in.....all the answers are positive...even to the worst questions!!

Nothin'.

If I was given the chance to go back and change one thing in my life it would be that I would have started to learn to drive when I was 15 or 16 because now I'm 20 years old and I'm depending on rides from my parents to get me from place to place when I need to be there until I get my license. I've had my learner's permit for a year now, going on 2 years and I still can't seem to grasp the concept of driving. I really wish that I would have learned to drive sooner in my life because I really hate depending on rides and I wanna be independent for once in my life. That is what I would change.
hmmmm maybe the time my dad made me go on a ferris wheel i think i was like 12 and i thought ok looks like fun but when we got to the top my dad started rocking it and there wus a little sign that said don't rock the chair i was terrified that we were going to flip. so i guess i would go back and not go on the ferris wheel. but i can't really think of a more serious time
I would have gone to college immediately after high school.
I would have repeated the sixth grade, that way I would not have gotten behind, then I would have done better in school, so I could have gotten into college, gotten a higher education, and become a child psychologist.
I would have graduated from high school, gone straight to college, and got my Bachelor's degree, rather than partying and pissing off time like it's a replenishable resource! If I had done that then, I would now be well established in my career and making good money. Instead, I'm 40 and struggling through school (but making straight A's!) while raising a family on a limited income. Better late than never, I suppose, but still a hard lesson to learn!

What are things that help when you are majorly transforming your life?
I am going through positive major life changes and struggling to break free of old habits. I tend to stay inside and I need to get out more also. What things helped you to transform/ change your life/ quit smoking?
What are things that help when you are majorly transforming your life?
Check out local festivals and things to go wander around. Walking is great. Look for markets as well.
Dance classes. Try Ceroc or modern ballroom classes where you meet people and you don't have to bring a partner.
Do a course at your local night school - language, cooking, history. Something that interests you.
Plan a trip somewhere. Maybe visit an old friend? If you have the money and the time, what about a new country? Somewhere totally different and not somewhere you'd normally think of going to for a holiday - Vietnam, Peru.
Book a tour where you can go by yourself but have the comfort of other people if you need it.
Good luck!
What are things that help when you are majorly transforming your life?
Friends friends friends
get some friends to help you
A good positive mental attitude is the first step. Get yourself outside, even if only for a few minutes at first, and then start to build that up.
Exercise will help to release endorphins which will boost your mood and help you feel better, as well as helping you to get fitter.
Look at your diet. A poor diet, lacking in vitamins and minerals will make you sluggish and cause lack of energy.
Have a look at this website...
http://gosmokefree.nhs.uk/
It will help with the stopping smoking.
I'm training to be a massage therapist and learning more about nutrition and what poor nutrition can do has really opened my eyes and given me the kick up the bum I needed to make some changes.
I'm drinking more water - between 2 and 3 litres a day, which is helping me to stay properly hydrated and is doing wonders for my skin too!
I've made some serious dietary changes. I'm vegetarian but my diet was far from good.
I'm not stopping smoking yet. I know I should but I have other things going on in my life so I'm not ready to just yet.
Is there anything you really want to do? Like learn how to salsa dance or an art class? Then go and do it. You will be amazed at just how much more positive it will make you feel.
Good luck!
I stopped smoking cigarettes back in November of 200, just before Thanksgiving of all times.
I had it rough for about a week, but after that I was on my way to a better life.
I feel great right now and don't think about them. I gained a few pounds nothing major.
I sleep better, breathe better , feel beter and even not as stressful as I was, but I'm very energetic and drinking lots of water.
I have to stay busy and when I'm aournd smokers I can smell it now. It doesn't bother me, but I prefer to not smell it since I stopped, but I have lots of friends that still smoke so I just ignore it and move on and finally after smoking for 20 years it was very easy for me to put it down.
Anybody can put them down when you're ready too. You don't need nicotine gum and all that stuff. Just stop like I did and let it run its course.
Friends! That is the best support system you could possibly have. Keep the ones pulling you up, and ditch the ones that could potentially bring you down. Also, try to find a new hobby.

I have to stay busy and when I'm aournd smokers I can smell it now. It doesn't bother me, but I prefer to not smell it since I stopped, but I have lots of friends that still smoke so I just ignore it and move on and finally after smoking for 20 years it was very easy for me to put it down.
Anybody can put them down when you're ready too. You don't need nicotine gum and all that stuff. Just stop like I did and let it run its course.
Friends! That is the best support system you could possibly have. Keep the ones pulling you up, and ditch the ones that could potentially bring you down. Also, try to find a new hobby.

How did your life change after your depression ?
ITS SUCKED
my life changed dramatically I was very friendly out going. now I am clingy to my husband and dont care to make friends or go out and have fun I avoid my family. it really sucks but i am trying to find my way still
I shut down and avoid people. I have alot im working on in my life. Until I get what I desire I may stay struggling!
I'm going through the same thing...I'm at the point now where I am hovering over the %26quot;big red phone%26quot; (AKA my xanax) the fear of having a panic attack is preventing me from doing everything I want to, not the actual disorder. the depression is now stemming from the sense I have now that I am trapped in my own house.
my doctor told me that these irrational tendencies never really go away, they are found and treated, but the treatment makes the coniditon migrate somewhere else and doesn't rid you of it completely. it's a comforting thought to know that the human mind is powerful, but our will is moreso. we can see behind the smoke and mirrors and act accordingly.
I'm sorry you're going through this right now. if you ever need to talk you should email me.
Take a look at the statistics at how many people have depression, take SSRIs or other medication. There is no shame to depression any longer. The shame is doing nothing about it, making yourself miserable and everyone around you too!
As for me, I have been on NUMEROUS types of medications....Wellbutrin, Celexa, Effexor, Lexapro, Cymbalta....more. They all helped for a while but then eventually they would stop working and I'd have to change them. Two years ago after a SERIOUS bout of depression and a suicide attempt I went on an extreme diet where I stopped eating all prepared foods, all fast foods, stopped eating all refined sugars, stopped eating all wheat because the gluten in it is poison to the system, I stopped drinking all diet soda, and started eating only organic and whole grain foods.
Today, I am completely depression free AND I am taking NO MEDICATION.....NONE! I am like a new woman, positive, encouraging, friendly, no anxiety, high energy.
My suggestion to you is to examine what you are putting in your mouth. You are what you eat!
YOU are in control of your life. You decide what you what....to be depressed, anxious, angry, feeling unworthy and addicted to harmful pharmceutical drugs or empowered and in control for the rest of you life?
Oh and I tried the psychiatrists, praying, support groups......all BS.....just analyze what you are eating and exercise!
Well Ive had depression for about three years now, and I can say it really has changed my life. I didnt earn respect from friends or family, I didnt get a promorion or relocate, nothing like that, since I am only 18, but I used to dream of being a famous singer, and I was so sure thats what I was going to be, and now all I really care about is helping others and becoming a counselor for those dealing with depression. Since the famous part is a little unrealistic....I can say, having depression, really prepared me for the real word and I know exactly what Im going to college for. Anyways, good luck sweetie, I hope I helped some!!
My changed the most through...relationship-wise.
-friends disappear
-all the people who you thought were friends, disappear
-'beta' family members start to take over you if you were an 'alpha' before the depression...
-you get psychotic symptoms..I exuded schizo traits and panic attacks
-you might get bullied
-you 'lose' who you are (in the your mind only though - you can't literally 'lose' oneself), or think you can be many personalities at one time (but this is an idea that actually makes you sick not happier)
-i did not relocate nor got a promotion nor earn respect
but, after your depression...you reap the rewards. you really do. ;)cat vb
