hi Indie,
wow - I'm impressed! Masters in IB...Brazil...Portugal. You are clearly a talented person with a knack for languages & a yen for adventure. I bet you have some great stories to share (in addition to the sad ones.) I'd love to hear some of your adventures & funny events - I'm sure you have them too. :)I'm glad you're still here. Glad you never gave into the suicidal urges. It would be sad to deprive the world of a cool person like yourself.
I have to say -- you need to finish your classes. I believe 75% of your current depression will lift once you complete the final classes. You're worked so hard for so long that it would be a huge waste to give it all up! Fight through this! Write those last 3 papers! Take that last test! Power through it! Fight through it! Do it! You CAN do it. You NEED to do it. Get your butt off that couch. Turn off the TV. No more surfing. Write those darn papers and be done with it!
I know the horrible nagging feeling that comes from leaving a huge task undone. Do the work & reap the rewards that you deserve and for which you're worked so hard. Then any stress related to school will be gone, like a haze washed away by rain. At that point you can focus on the other stressors in your life that cause depression without getting sidetracked or losing focus.
But you NEED to finish!
Good luck. You're going to kick butt on those papers & the test. Write back & let us all know how you're doing.
Take Care!
