Oh hun, I'm sorry I've been stuck out here...I miss our fangirling. I was wondering if you were alright so I'm glad to hear that things are getting a little better. *hugs*
*hugs*Yeah, feeling a little better, but a little overwhelmed because I've got a month's worth of Stuff in my face and I'm just not at championship mode atm. Ps: thanks for the invite to the NY thing. I've always wanted to actually watch the hootenanny, but I gotta what else is going on. I keep forgetting its actually 20 days to Christmas! How's France going? xx
Well it'd be lovely if you came along...we don't tend to watch the Hootenanny all night but switch it on when it gets near to midnight. I'm praying that they'll get Tennant and Simm on it again because that was so much win!
France is a bit meh as I've got exams all next week, but it's not like I have to pass them so I'm making no effort whatsoever. I basically want to go home now! Lol.
Your post brought back memories of my undergraduate days at university, where I frequently found myself too anxious about the work that had piled up to do anything else, causing more to pile up and so on through the cycle of despair. You can break it--I actually teach now, have a PhD, and this term have a little mini-me in one of my classes...it's a bit weird, but it reminds me that we all develop in different ways! Hang in there and think "triage"--the most important items first (the ones for school) and the extras can wait. I had to learn to give myself permission to end commitments that weren't directly related to my school goals so that I could focus on getting the most important stuff done. YMMV, but good luck to you!
Thanks for the fic rec--I'm so glad you're enjoying the story!
Aw, thanks hun. I'm so proud you managed to get past the anxiety and do so much...depression has taken a lot of drive from me, and it's impossible atm to get it back. But hey, I've been hanging in there, more or less for 8 years (whew), I know I'll make it, just not sure in how many pieces. Looking forward to your next chapter. xxx
Oh hun, I'm sure there's a Jack Harkness out there, although he might not look like him, hmm. But yeah, to me marriage is messed up. I can't help dreaming. And yeah, I do keep falling for people who've already fallen for someone else. I'm just used to it, so it's easier to happen. So much for learning from your mistakes! But hey, I had a date the other day, but it was rubbish because she was so fucking grumpy the whole time... xxx
They do, I've made an appointment with a Doctor to get a bill of ill health to get them on my side. It's scary, cos it feels like a test and it's one I usually fail because I have a typically bright demeanour :S xxx
I am so sorry that you are having such a bad time. I remember going through something very similar when I was your age -- especially disabling panic attacks that kept me mostly in bed or at least in the house. I unfortunately failed out of school because of it and my parents thought I was just being lazy. Bad times. Still, I had a good therapist at the time and despite what was essentially a nervous breakdown*, things slowly began to turn themselves around. I hope that you can find someone to help you as well. I certainly know how hard it is. *bighugs*
* For me, it was basically realizing that I was going through the motions of what my parents wanted from me and suddenly seeing that it a) wasn't me and b) I had no idea who I was. It was like the rug had been pulled out from under me. It was a tough time.
*hugs* I'm sorry you had your own breakdown to go through. I've had these sort of crisises(?) before, like starting out on Prozac during my A level exams - that was fun! I tend to get through it. But I've really been thrown for a loop this time, and I worry how long it'll take until I'm me again because it's third year and I really am on the edge of failing this degree I've worked so hard for. Thanks for your comment, anyway, hun xxxxxx
