Advice for me on January first, 2011:
You will feel better than you do right now- Start counselling and keep busy. Ditch your shyness and push yourself outside of your comfort zone. You aren't pregnant. Join roleplaying games and keep LARPing! Quit your AFS volunteer job- Between uni and two paying jobs, you really don't need something else sucking up your rare free time. Keep knitting and you'll finish the sweater, eventually. Your Spanish final will be fine and you'll feel drained by the experience, but the next few days will be unexpectedly awesome and you'll them building cushion forts and hanging out giving and receiving massages in the Botanic Garden after dark. Maintain contact with old friends. Cutting off contact with your mother will feel terrifying at the time but the sense of relief after it's over is worth it. Drinking so much pisco in such a short amount of time is a really bad idea and you will regret it. You'll relapse from the depression you experienced at the beginning of the year when winter hits. The snowstorm will be over soon- It will make you feel like a mess, however, and you should accept the support of those who know what you're going through. That said, antidepressents are an excellent idea and you'll wonder why you didn't consider them sooner. You'll make it out of the trimester alive and with decent grades despite hating every second you spend at Vic. Buy books. Listen to good music. Go swimming. Finish the actual moving part of moving in with your boyfriend as soon as possible, and everything will go well from there. It's ok to want to make Christmas as stress-free as possible and for New Year's to be quiet. You will make it through this year, even though right now, you're apathetic and hopeless. Hang in there, it will get better.
