I dealt with drepression when I was your age and I refused to talk about it to anyone and that was about the stupidest thing ever.). I hope everything evens out a little for you.

Silly, perhaps, but we can't help what we feel. Hope things look up soon, and in the meantime, allow yourself to enjoy your relationship, and the prospect of going back to school. As you say, you can only really mess things up by not doing them - just like I can only really screw up my thesis/future by succumbing to the fear and not writing it!<br /><br />What works for me when anxiety hits: make cup of tea, put on cuddly sweater, sit down with warm tea in hands, close eyes and think about how exciting [whatever] is. When the other Sonya/Syl tries to butt in and rain on your parade, politely tell her that she's entitled to her opinion, but that right now she needs to fuck off, and go back to thinking about the exciting and hopeful stuff. Repeat as necessary until that strangled feeling in your chest/throat subsides and you actually start to see your way clear to the glimmers of excitement. Keep sipping tea. It doesn't cure the affliction, but it helps me get through the worst attacks! :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554809704589605942.post-19100727911716326082014-03-05T13:25:12.029-08:002014-03-05T13:25:12.029-08:00I'm a lot cheerier now!
