I just got out of a horrible state of an emotions, i cant describe the intense emotional pain that i have, im still crying as im typing this.
Something happened today in collage that set it off, i cant describe this intense cry im having, i just can't stop it. I went to bed thinking of all the pains and regrets that have happened in my life. I rerember them, buetifulify, i had a song that was playing in my head that wouldnt stop, it just made me in a way glad, but a wonderful, painful emotion.
I cried on Xanax bad, it didnt help.
Walking around around the house and rerembering my once memory, and having a song playing my head, it was the most wonderful, painful, emotion. Now im just trying to hold my emotion back before i, go out again, singing, then crying at the same time hard.
I know that life will go on after this.......i just dont see where it will go.
On a more personal note, i would like to say to you personally reading this......thank you....and like to say to all readers, im smiling at you right now, and i love you.
Goodbye for now....a #1fan

Is this just a very intense emotional surge but not exactly depressive?
How are you doing?
Peace,
Kaye

It has stopped, for now. When i think about something, and then something that happened, i havent had this kind of emotional surge in years.
I came home from campus and i laid down, took a Xanax, but it just increased.
I'll tell you what happened, my english professor is very cold, she said im sorry your writing is "middle school", i didnt know what to say.... she said you need to drop the course before you flunk.... i mean how, well she does have 150 students to teach, but that was so cold, and i have worked and worked on my writing with a tudor, she just flat out told me "i dont know what to tell you". And then a series of just bad events, depression came on, then past memories that hurt came up and it hit me so hard.
When i wrote the 1st post, i was so upset, but i've recovered. I cant describe the depression or that state of mind..............i was in, im still in it. I called my friends, they just didnt know what to say, because i was so upset, this song just played in my head, i dont even want to even start it again.... i will have a trigger.
Lithium, or something to make emotions go away is needed.

I'm sorry to hear that she said that. Your prof clearly has poor social skills and cannot constructively criticize others.
Your writing seems a lot better when you're calmer (like in the post of yours I'm replying to). I hope you feel better. Just try not to take it so hard and don't worry. It's unfair to punish yourself.

(((((your#1fan))))))
I'm sorry your prof hurt you. I think your professor could have come up with a more constructive way to criticize your writing.
Hang in there.

About the writing, I'm sorry that your professor said something so unkind. I'm curious, though, about how you have gone about working on it. That's a subject for the Students board, though.

I'm not sure lithium is what you need - although it may help.
It seems to me that you got some bad news today and couldn't contain it and it began to spiral to a very dark place. It's okay. You just need to improve your writing. That is absolutely something that is well within your power to control.
Learning to contain those emotions is also well within your control. Are you in therapy? Most colleges offer some sort of temporary mental health care and referrals for longer term care (that's how I hooked up with my T/psychiatrist).
As a teacher, I often have to give kids bad news. If you only knew how much it pains me to do so. While I do think her particular response was a bit harsh, sometimes it is the ultimate show of respect for your students to be honest with them.
I haven't read your papers, so I don't know if she is correct or not. But at least she has given you a place to start.If she is advising you to drop, I would. It's not the end of the world (really, it isn't). You can pick the class up later and potentially even sign up for another section that may provide more help.
This has gotten a little off topic for the medication board. But I've posted over on students with some additional tips as well.
Seldom.
