My life, especially my career was going nowhere. I had the qualification and talent, but still I was lagging behind. So, I just got a grip of my life and decided to change my whole working manner. Started putting in more hours and worked with goals in my mind. The outcome is that I got two promotions and increments in less than 2 year :) I took my career in my hands.

I was lucky and got good advice and therapy, and learned that you cannot change other people, you can change only yourself. So that's what you do: alter your attitude, take responsibility for how you are (ownership of your own personal development). For example, unhappy with my marriage cos my husband was rotten. So I can't make HIM be nice, so what I can do is either leave him or stay with him but if I do the latter, then recognize that's my decision so my responsibility, not something someone else 'made' me do. So if I'm still unhappy, that's my choice! In which case, maybe it's a pretty stupid choice!! In which case, do something about it. Whatever, it's MY choice so my decision and my responsibility I had depression.
