well done passingcloud! I can personally relate. I struggle in maths and hardly ever study... I just hate it! Understanding maths feels good

I think I'm doing fairly well in my classes.

I have not gotten into a real argument with my roommate.

I've eaten more in the last couple days than on the previous days.

I'm learning to deal with my emotions in more positive ways.

I've *not* been having serious or sustained suicidal thoughts recently.

I've gotten things done (financial, housing, storage things...).

I'm keeping myself off places and not falling into the guilt trip I've set up for myself by coming here (bus)... I need sleep. I will see how my friends are doing when I am well-rested and done with finals.

I am proud of myself today becuse I didnt s/i, take any pills, or blow up at anyone. :gooddeal:
Sometimes I feel like my sun as run away. Drifting from here to there and the feeling stays the same. The thoughts stay in my head and they always haunt me.......
