In reply to Anti-Social, posted by fallsfall on December 13, 2007, at 11:28:55
Here is a cyber-hanky...not that the tears aren't fine.
I think it sounds a bit like depression also, but I also think there is the realization that while you feel anti-social, the only way to stop being anti-social is to push through when you don't want to. And that is really hard and sometimes overwhelming. And it must be lonely to be so anti-social...
I imagine interviewing, or thinking about interviewing and working again must be at least a little anxiety provoking. I bet it will feel good to have the structure of a job and those social contacts. And I think it is pretty normal to withdraw a little after working so hard, both this semester and on your program. It is so great that you are almost done!
Is there a Christmas tradition that you want to do but haven't scheduled yet? That could be a great way to get into the spirit of things.
Hugs,
Daisy
