I hope things have improved...How about an update? I hope things have improved for you. You describe classic symptoms of depression. Speaking from experience, depression can trap you in endless cycle that can be nearly impossible to see your way out of without help. Whatever your opinions of medication, if you had professional help and found the right medication, even on a temporary basis, it may allow you to break out of the cycle, step back and assess your situation without having to first claw through your way through the black clouds around you. At least consider it as a last resort if you find yourself in that frame of mind often. <BR/>I happened upon your blog by chance - and what I know about you already is that you are an intelligent, talented, and attractive person. Keep fighting and you will grow stronger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600903981595793032.post-45626132676685427342008-12-26T11:33:00.000-08:002008-12-26T11:33:00.000-08:00i think that you're a fabulous person, and i wish ...i think that you're a fabulous person, and i wish we were closer because i always love talking to you. advice from people younger than you can suck, but i'm hoping this doesn't. live doing what you're happiest doing, where you're happiest doing it, and with who you're happiest. sometimes there are shitty transitions, and if you're truly unhappy, it's a sign that something needs to change. maybe you should see someone? therapy always helped in the long run. anyway, i hope you can find some small joy and make it a larger joy. i love you!Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694511596451037568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600903981595793032.post-44489884138765503912008-12-08T17:45:00.000-08:002008-12-08T17:45:00.000-08:00oh darling...i'm so sorry.i think it can be hard t...oh darling...i'm so sorry.<BR/>i think it can be hard to find the right place, you know it's been hard for me. i know you've taken "time off" already but what if you did something serious and focussed where you WEREN'T doing school? might that help you? like camphill or something similar? i know that this year has already offered me so many opportunities for self-discovery, for personal inner striving, and for feeling for the first time in my life that i am doing something meaningful for others besides myself. might doing something like that help you find a purpose, and then maybe you would return to school renewed and stronger?<BR/>(one disclaimer, with the health thing, camphill is incredibly difficult work, but it might actually help you...)Livahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08725959477564814202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600903981595793032.post-28631430190446035182008-12-08T09:55:00.000-08:002008-12-08T09:55:00.000-08:00you are loved and someday you will find the purpos...you are loved and someday you will find the purpose you seek.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600903981595793032.post-10251945263594884662008-12-07T20:04:00.000-08:002008-12-07T20:04:00.000-08:00i'm going to say something cynical in the hope of ...i'm going to say something cynical in the hope of making you laugh:<BR/><BR/>gotta find my purpose... before it's too late!
