Sigh

So, where am I now? I am somewhere in limbo between being vaguely happy and being hopelessly depressed. Being busy with finals has helped, but I know that I am just allowing myself to put off dealing with whatever the root of my depression is. Burying myself in books and notes is not the solution.

I'm going to be 18 in a little over two weeks. My birthday has never been a happy time for me, unless you go WAAAAY back to when I was about 11. I want it to be a good day so much, but can I really make it that way? I wonder sometimes if I subconsciously sabotage myself merely because I don't want to succeed and feel good about myself. Do I crave, deep down, the drama of being out of control?

I don't know where all of this is going. Maybe I've simply got too much on my plate, no pun intended, and I am having a hard time dealing with so much. I'm strong enough for one stressful thing, maybe two, but this barrage of stresses is obviously getting to me. What to do about it?

"Do I crave, deep down, the drama of being out of control?" I relate so much to this sentence. A lot of times when I mess up I suspect self-sabotage, especially when I first got to school and started spiraling down into my ED. I half thought I was trying to be sent home.

I'm sorry you're so stressed. December's a really crap month, isn't it? If you can just last it out another two weeks, you'll be able to get a chance (I hope!) to relax and destress.

I hope you're feeling better by the time you read this! Love xxxxx
