First, tell everyone near you thanks. Thanks for supporting you while you pulled yourself together, and thanks for taking care of you while you've been sick. You're going to do so because you actually do feel that way. You do, or you wouldn't've talked about it.
Second, you're going to be proactive about your problems. Waiting until things happen is for suckers.
Open up a document and write up 10 things that you want to do with your life. They shouldn't all be big things; in fact, having a variety of easy to achieve and difficult to achieve things will be good. If you can't think of anything, be silly. The list is important, but not worth stressing about.
This document is going to be your roadmap, and like all journeys, you're free to change it once you get started. Nothing about it is set in stone. It's there to get you to look forward as opposed to backwards.
You may have to resort to stupid tricks to pull yourself up. They are stupid, but we're stupid creatures and these things work. Practice acting happy. Load your MP3 player with stupid happy music, and go for a long walk.
See, the key to remember is that you're in charge of your happiness. Not your boyfriend or girldfriend or family. YOU. Find things that make you happy and relish them, because your current life ain't cutting it. It's time to get away from that.
And the first step is by breaking the pattern. You thank them because they've done a lot for you, but you're not expecting anything to change. You're going to go make it change. Because you are in charge.
You're not accountable to anyone but you. So hold yourself to the standard you want to have. Be the person you want to be, and never accept less than awesomeness from yourself. Always be trying, always be looking forward.
No one is going to fix your problems.
