I'm not really doing too well lately. Up and down, but just really sad overall and feeling like my life is extremely pathetic. I know that I really need to get more involved in some activities or something, but yeah, it's kind of that momentum thing - like it just seems to take too much effort to try to find something and then actually do it.
I understand about being so nervous about a big test. I guess most people probably do, but it is worse when you are depressed and it's so hard to get yourself to study. And when you feel that your future rests on the test to some degree. That's how I felt for a number of months earlier this year, when I was gearing up to take my GRE. I took it in June and did well (at least, well enough), so that was a huge burden off my mind. Anwyays... I'm probably not making you feel any better about the test though, am I?
I'm just starting off on the career path, too. Sort of. This is really my first real job out of college, well, second if you count a year of AmeriCorps. And this job is certainly not my "career job." I know what I want for my career, but I have some work before I get there. I'm applying for grad school this fall, and I am EXTREMEMLY afraid of not getting in. Of course, I won't even know until next spring, and I already know that if I don't get in, if I get that small flat envelope instead of the big thick one.... it will just crush me. But, I'm getting way ahead of myself.
Only your second therapy session? Second ever, or is this with a new therapist? Well, I hope that it goes well!
