I'm also glad to hear that I'm not the only one who didn't view her 20s as the best years of her life; they were actually very difficult for me too, and I always used to think that my 20s would be like they are for young people on TV (which I know isn't a realistic portrayal of people's twenties at all).

I have also struggled with depression/anxiety for most of my life but it has gotten easier to manage the older I've gotten. I honestly think that life gets better when you're approaching or solidly within the middle of it. <br /><br />That is definitely something the 20 year old girl I used to be would have never believed.
