I feel twitchy and sad.

I will make sure I don't cancel on seeing my 2 best friends tonight and try to eat what they are eating. Those are sensible grown-up actions. *tries to convince self*

I feel fat, unattractive and self conscious.

SO

I went for a run earlier rather than eating my way through the morning.

I'm worried N is going to drive me f***ing insane today and it will stress me out and annoy me to the extreme.

SO

I'm going to list the good things about MY life and when she is condescending or patronising I will think of the list. I will take some Walnut remedy to help me cope rather than food or drink.

I am frustrated and angry because my computer shut down and I lost an important document :x

I will not beat myself up for not saving it. I will redo the work which I lost and try to get over it

Paranoid, disgusting, overwhelmed.

So

I'm going to question my paranoias and form plans to dispell my worries.
I'm going to pamper myself, practise my make up and have a nice bath.
I'm going to organise my college work and write down a 'to-do' list.

forgoten about which bit of homework I am ment to do for physics, stressed out with the coursework, have a presentation to do. and scared about seeing the therapist for the first time on wednesday, and what Im ment to tell my form tutor about my UCAS personal statement.

Ask the physics teacher about it tomorrow. don't know how much to tell her, but wait and see.
ask at the libary for references tomorrow, drop it for today.
email the people Im doing the presentation for and ask about it.
shruggs shoulders as for the last two, err. could tell my form tutor about the difficulty with only one uni doing the course I want to do. no need to tell her about anything else unless I want to.
as for the T I don't know, post something on the forum. see what people say.

I feel passion-less and boring.

I'm going to try something new, or improve some of the thing's I do daily. I'm preparing for my Japanese class next September, after all. :D

Take care,
Annie.

I feel like shit. I'm exhausted, I'm miserable, I'm hateful, and I feel ignored.

I'm going to get a mug of hot chocolate. I'm going to put on a movie, and fall asleep to it (I'm so tired), or maybe just read a little until I finish my warm beverage. Then, I'm going to set my alarm so I wake up at a decent time. Then I'm going to sleep.

Whoa, what do you know. A friend is suddenly online and wanting to talk to me. This may help with the whole ignored feeling ^^;

Take care,

I feel complete apathy. Absolutely nothing.

What will I do about it?
Not sure to be honest, just continue on with my evening and wait for some feelings to come back.

I'm feeling on top of things. :)

I'm going to continue this feeling by doing my laundry (need clean underwear... haha) and doing homework or eating while I wait for it.

I'm feeling wired/not tired (which is a problem since it's 3 am), lonely, bored, lost, cold, useless/pathetic....

I am going to listen to some nice, calming music for a little while and snuggle up under the covers. I'm going to let myself sleep in a bit tomorrow, but then I am going to make myself get up and get some stuff done/alternate with doing fun things.

I feel angry, vindictive and hurt.

I will listen to MCR and write in my journal until I feel able to be rational. I will not make any major decisions until I'm calm, rather than racing in and deciding something I can't repair if I break it.

I will enjoy the knowledge that MCR at full volume will be annoying the daylights out of the annoying woman in the room above me.

I feel torn up and confused.

I will talk to Batesy, who has already chosen her GCSE's, and ask about the courses she took, and the skills it gave her.
I will talk to my parents.
I will talk to my form tutor.
I will talk to my Next Steps advisor.
I will take a look at my strength's, what I enjoy, and what gives me a wide range of good foundations for the future.
I will narrow it down to three, somehow.

I won't freak out about it, I'll find comfort in the fact that I know what to do about it.
don't worry if i'm not here - i come and go. :cowsleep:
