I made this layout to enter into this month's Once Upon A Sketch challenge, which the journaling theme is "An event that changed my life". I kept my journaling private on the back of my layout.

I named my layout 2012 because an event that changed my life happened on Nov. 26, 2012. I have struggled with depression and bipolar disorder my entire life and by that day, it was so bad I was suicidal. I had a lot of stressers in my life at that point, and after I went on stress leave (when I recognized the signs that my life was literally teetering on the edge), I made some life changing decisions. After battling deep depression in 2013, I was finally confident enough in myself to make more life changing decisions. Through alot of hard work I continue to move along with my life while I recover. That day in 2012 was an eye opener. I realized that I was not super-woman, I could not work myself silly while battling disorders without medication or doctor intervention. At first I felt like the biggest failure at life, and it was hard to deal with. I ended up transferring to another location within the company I work for, and got a promotion to store manager. I have saved for a down payment on a house by myself and am looking to buy eventually. I realized that I have actually accomplished so much more than I gave myself credit for and for once I really believe the future is looking bright. I will struggle with depression, bipolar disorder, and sleep disorders for the rest of my life, but I am determined to not let it hold me back. I just want to be happy with my life and have no regrets :)
