*hugs* Sounds very similar to me sometimes. I feel guilty about large purchases whether I needed them or not. And reading is a challenge right now too.
I mean, honestly, the paper and film was a necessity if I'm to keep printing and taking pictures for my Photo class. I'm seriously low- like, left with 4 pages of 11x14 (which is what I work in for the finished prints). And in a good day I'll go through... anywhere from five to twenty. And film- well, that's kind of a given.
When I met with my teacher, I had the feeling that I had actually read the book (recently), while she had read it sometime in the past, and had refreshed with the CliffNotes or something... But I felt all right about my own reading that way.
Unfortunately, this happens. It can be referred to as that plague known as "senioritis," or just plain stress hitting you when you're down. Mood swings like that often happen when one hasn't slept enough. ::gimlet-eyed stare:: Since I'm supposed to be the one with the monopoly on short sleep right now, that means you should sleep more.
::hugs:: Just keep drinking tea, eat some fruit, and every time you feel like something is hopeless or too difficult, either cry (because that does help in the long run) or distract yourself with something. I believe web-surfing is a good way to do that, or reading, or even speaking with friends.
I'll gladly be your photo lackey again sometime. Are you free early afternoon this Fri?
I have this theory that the human brain likes to make things as difficult as possible for itself. So at random intervals, it decides the normal stress isn't enough and it must start thinking in all sorts of weird, depressing, anxiety-inducing ways. When it happens, I generally try to tell myself that it's just me being weird and things really can't be as bad as all that. I hope you feel better now.
Here's hoping the evil epidemic goes far, far away and never returns.

At least the week's nearly over...
Thanks for the hugs- they are much apreciated. :)
