I'm worried because I have to talk to the principal at my school tomorrow about some issues I've been having. I haven't been to the school since last Wednesday (avoiding much?) and it's 3:30am and I still haven't managed to fall asleep. I did sleep all day though.. So hopefully I will be okay...so I'm going to continue relaxing here until 6, unless I fall asleep, when I will get up and take a shower so as to start my day off right.
Edited because I forgot to add what I was going to do about it..

I feel fragile, depressed and just really sad...
I am going to
~ be gentle and nice to myself,
~ validate my feelings instead of saying mean , horrible things to myself.
~ take things slowly.
~ live in the moment
~practice distress tolerance

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

I'm feeling
~ urgy
~ Anxious
~ like I'm going crazy
~ scared to go into the kitchen for any long period of time
~ like I'm a burden to my partner
~ frustrated with my life
~ scared about seeing and feeling things that aren't real
I'm going to
~ distract myself online, try to find some craft stuff to do, or journal until the urge fades
~ go easy on myself, and take care of myself.
~ remind myself OFTEN that lots of people have issues in life, and that calling myself crazy isn't helpful.
~ Brave the kitchen only long enough to make some dhal, rather than ducking in, grabbing junk food and eating bad food all day.
~ remind myself that she knows, and accepts, why I'm avoiding the kitchen, and that she'd rather wash the dishes and cook the meals than take me to hospital.
~ remind myself rather forcefully that the reason life is so boring is to save up for the camera I need, so I can save up for the photography courses so I can be a photographer. Yes, it sucks now, but big picture wise, we're getting there.
~ I have posted on BUS asking for advice and help, I will hang around and see if anyone replies.

I feel confused and conflicted, like I'm waging war on myself. Exhausted, and I don't know if it's emotionally or physically or both or nothing. Insecure. Unhappy. Bust yeah, mostly confused.
I think I'm going to try again to write out why I feel conflicted on paper, although I was totally unable to sort it out that way last time I tried.

I'm feeling weak, panicky, pathetic, depressed, alone....awful.
I'm going to:
MAKE myself calm down....maybe start reading a new book....remind myself that worrying about stuff I cant change isnt going to help....try to get some sleep....try as hard as I possibly can to make it through my classes/clinicals tomorrow.

hopeless,
uninspired,
apathetic,
unmotivated to do my homework and studying (which is really a problem seeing as it's midterms time),
like becoming an invisible blob of nothing
Motivate myself by giving myself some me-time without the pressure of school-work so I can clean my head and work on my goals:
- Right now I think I'm going to go take a bath and think and cleanse myself of this icky feeling and these bad thoughts.
- I will get one page done on this paper and an outline ready to finish it off tomorrow.
- I will do my German homework.
- I will get some sleep before Chemistry class.
- I will keep going to all my classes this week (and try not to be late ).
- Wed. I'm going to go to the stress clinic.
- Thur. if I'm still feeling like this, I will perhaps skip the pointless lecture class to go to the stress clinic again (they only have it Wed. and then during that class).
- This weekend I will reward myself by going to see my aunt and grandparents and getting away from this depressing city air.

I feel overwhelmed by work.
I'm going to go to bed now, and get up early so I can work for an hour or two before I leave for college. That way I'll get more done.

Sad. Hurt. Anxious. Afraid. Nervous. Frustrated.
Listen to music, try to find something physical to do.. something to subside the urges I'm getting... probably go write a little, and stab my notebook with my pen/pencil.

lacking in hope (not really "hopeless"), lacking in motivation.
want to not be me. want to not be stuck being myself. I don't want anything to do with anything that i am.
crappy self-esteem moment.
very bad day
fed up
give up
messed up
brain tangles. angry. frazzled.
that I'm never going to get of this crap whatever in my head stuff
---
go to stress clinic tomorrow
fuck up my German test with style, at least
try to be forgiving and nice to myself

feeling: urgy, depressed, hopeless, hurt.
******
going to:
-keep distracted, keep playing music & things in the background.
-write about the reasons why i don't want to give in to the urges.
-think about contacting someone to talk to, and be forgiving of myself if i can't do that for now.
-think about getting help more, but not let myself feel guilty for now if i get stuck on that, and just keep working.
-let my body rest without feeling guilty about doing less.

terrified about something my partner said (we were watching the Stephen Fry manic depression doco, and she kept giving me weird looks, then said 'are you bipolar?!?')
I'm going to:
Wait till she's home, and ask her to help me try and find a therapist, so that, if there's a specific thing wrong with me, we can finally find out so it's no longer just 'she's crazy'.
