I feel a little overwhelmed.
Very lonely.
Very very desperately sad.
Unhappy with my image.
____________
I'm going to write out a list of everything I need to do for uni and then forget about it for the rest of today because I've done a lot of work already and I deserve a break. I'm going to visit places and talk to some friends online, maybe a game of scrabble or something. I've made a GP appointment for next week, I need someone to listen to me. I need to keep reminding myself that beautiful doesn't equal a certain size.

I feel scared and lonely.
I am going to do self soothing things this evening to help assuage my irrational fears. I am going to surround myself with my roommates instead of isolating myself so that I do not feel so lonely.

In Which Something Oooh Occurred
And it felt like a winter machine that you go through and then you catch your breath and winter starts again, and everyone else was springbound. And when I chose to live, there was no joy, it's just a line I crossed. I wasn't worth the pain my death would cost, so I was not lost or found....But when you live in a world, well, it gets in to who you th ought you'd be. And now I laugh at how the world changed me. I think life chose me after all.

I feel exhausted and overwhelmed.
I will log off bus, go to bed at a reasonable time and look at my list of things to do, and try to get them done, tomorrow.

I feel extremely anxious about the exams.
I feel overwhelmed by trying to keep everything going, everything is getting to be a bit much.
**********************************
About the exams: I have had two already. One did not go so well. But the sky did not fall in, so it's not the end of the world if things don't always go to plan. I will do one hour of study at a time, and try to get through it all that way. I will take a break after each hour so it seems more manageable.
About feeling overwhelmed: That will probably sort itself out when college ends. But for now, I'm going to try and focus on the exams, because they are making me very worried at the moment. Everything else can probably wait, so I have to start saying no to people, at least for the next week or so.

I feel very shaky, scared and panicky
I also feel triggered to SI
I am trying to focus on bus and post here.
I am going to remain at my computer until I feel better, as I have nothing to SI with here. I am not going to keep checking the house but thry and accept nobody is there.
I am going to listen to music to help me ignore the stuff in ym head.

Ill & exhausted.
I'm going to bed ridiculously early, with a hot drink and my book and the relevant medication. I'll deal with tomorrow when it comes.

I feel... Apathetic, very tired, just listless and nothing much really.
I will... Cook myself something to eat and get an early night tonight. About the mood, or lack there of, this is usually a precursor to feeling down. So before that happens I'm going to go for a walk and when I get back try to read my favourite book, and put on the mix cd that makes me feel good.

Sad, tired, missing places, and utterly dependent on BUS. I don't want to need BUS so much every time I am upset.
I'm going to resist the urge to visit 10 places, log out, and go to bed. If I need to vent tomorrow, I will email my T. I will hold out at least until Tuesday (I want to go a week), with allowance to post in coping if I feel I need to.

Tired, fed up, frustrated, stuck. Really frustrated.
Step back & take a break, do some things I enjoy. Long bath, reading, time away from the computer. Think about ways to move forward and get where I want to be.

Strained.
Read this afternoon, try to sleep some more, even if I just lie in bed with the radio on it's restful.
