buddhism...

this is a huge post for me.. second only to the amazing support of my friends and family buddhism has been an amazing source of comfort and solace for me in the last year...

it was about a year ago that depression and anxiety really started have an impact on my day to day life.. really got to an unmanageable point...

now i'd always had a mild intrigue for buddhism but it was at this point i really started to become interested and started to read up more on it.. i had support from two very special people who bought me books and encouraged me to start studying it.. i started to mediate (i try to daily) and began visiting a temple...

so now i've been embracing buddhism for almost a year.. without a doubt the toughest year of my life.. at times i haven't coped and at times i haven't been very buddhist at all.. but i'm working on it.. on me.. and am using buddhism to guide me.. remind me who it is i want to be...
