asylum
Well, my roommate had been having some anxiety problems....attacks, I suppose. The seasonal change and the isolation of Bethel seem to have gotten to him. I have a history of anxiety problems, but I've been trying to be very together and supportive, being that I've been quite worried about him. Well, suppressing anxiety is dumb. I ended up losing my mind a little bit as the result of it, and now I can't seem to get myself back to the "going through the motions" stage that I've been in the last several years. That doesn't feel good either, but I'm quite a bit more functional and it's easier for everyone. At any rate, I'm very thankful that my roommate seems to feel a lot better, and I really am trying as hard as I can to keep it together. I wish I could blame it on Bethel, but really it's the same crap that's always been there, and it's hard when you see no end to it. Regardless, I think my vacation that's coming up will be an excellent distraction from my gloom. This is what I get for being low on angst as a teenager. Now, I'm overflowing.
