It is the end of my third week in grad school and i hope i have been keeping my head above water with assignments and online discussions and whatnot. I have turned two papers in and also a lab. the next couple papers are all due in about two weeks and are all researchy papers. great. i just need to manage my time between those and the billions

In my experience, it is usually not helpful to scream at someone that they are a good person...getting you upset at him, only reinforces that he is a bad person...so that is just a spiral of shit. yay! When he says stuff like that, you should try to ignore him the next time and when he does something positive about himself, you should reward him heavily. See how that works, since the yelling thing will only make him believe he's right.

I'm glad that you seem to be settling into school well. Yay! I wouldn't expect Patrick to turn around quickly, particularly in a completely new area. I don't think that you can be his therapist; do you have health care thru the school? You can get domestic partner benefits and cover him, too, so he can get some stuff off his chest with someone else. Just an idea.

i have to be married i think to cover him through the student health care. sigh. i would love it though and i need to apply to it but also need to figure out how much money i need to give them first
