With a new year and all I thought it to be interesting to see what people did 2011. Share information you want, and of course was it a good year?

It has been a learning experience to say the least... Probably the worst year of my life... I got diagnosed with anxiety recently and I've been trying to cope with it for months now. Everything seems to stress me out lately and my confidence is at an all-time low! Notice how I'm using the present-tense. This of course, is because I'm still dealing with it. I just want to go back to normal and what sucks the most is that no one seems to understand what I'm going through. Everyone says, they have anxiety too! But they don't know... I get panic attacks all the time! I lost 20 pounds because I'm scared to eat. It's awful. Sometimes I just feel like giving up, thank God I haven't though.

If the fight is worth fighting then never give up no matter how hard it is. You hate yourself for it if you give up.

My year was relative decent and uneventful. I say that makes it a good year.

i have likely fought off one of my deepest depressions in my personal history. Was eceptionally dark, was caused by various factors like the winter blues, stress, and social pressures (it's incredibly sad to hear that a gay/lesbian killed themselves as they believed their life could not be happy because of their sexual orientation). I fought off a short-term depression that brought me close to death. I make sure I get 8 hours of sleep, I eat well, etc to keep myself more afloat. I quit hockey for a year to re-build stresses. I'm taking 15 credits instead of 17. Although, next year, I'm starting to play hockey again and taking 17-18 credits. I won't go to away games, but, I will be present at all/most practices and home games. Lots of little progress.

It was a good year and a bad one as well. I'm pretty sure half of it was the high-school to college transition as well and buckling down to this new life cycle. I'm a junior after this summer semester! Half way through for this degree. I am studying Fine art with a concentration of painting and drawing... I am not as scared of an art career now. The school has taught me well and my drawing has improved greatly over the year and a half of my formal art education.

One day, I hope I can convert an old bus or something into an art studio/classroom on wheels and travel to schools and teach kids about art and stuff.
