I feel kind of hopeless about my future, but I'm still going to try hard.
Kind of down.
Think I'm too sensitive. Can't tell the difference between well meaning anger and anger.
Everything is black and white. Love me or hate me.
:-(

Dr. Bob doesn't get upset with me.

i feel hopeless about my future too, sometimes. i try and tell myself that it is just a feeling and feeling like my future is hopeless doesn't mean that my future actually is hopeless. but it doesn't seem to help very much, so i'll spare you that... but... yeah. the feeling will pass. maybe sometimes it helps to think about that a little. especially when one is having a hard time studying or doing assignments or whatever because one is wondering what the point is seeing as the future is going to be hopeless and all... you have a lot of future ahead of you. i know it probably doesn't feel this way to you but you are still young.
> Think I'm too sensitive. Can't tell the difference between well meaning anger and anger.
> Everything is black and white. Love me or hate me.mmm. i don't like it when people feel angry with me either :-( i find it hard to remember that people can feel a little annoyed with my behaviour while caring a whole heap about me too. hard to remember that sometimes the reason why someone is feeling a little annoyed with my behaviour is that they do care a whole heap about me.
its hard sometimes.

> You're always so supportive.Ah.
Unfortunately, that's not true.
:-(Still, I don't do too badly sometimes, eh?
And you know what?
You can be pretty supportive at times too.

deneb, you can be supportive too. You've helped me a lot- sometimes just to distract me, or make me chuckle, but a lot of times you make me feel like a better person. I wish we could help you feel like a better person too sometimes.
I'm sorry you're having a tough time.
Are you able to hang out with your friends IRL?
Do you have any study-buddies this semester?
Tell us more about what's going on with you...
miss you ((((((Deneb))))))

Don't feel left out. Everyone feels like that at some time or another.
The good feelings though can come just as easily as the bad ones do, we just have to be patient and wait for them.

I like reading your posts Deneb, you can certainly be supportive... and I have never seen you UNsupportive (although I don't read all posts here and usually not archives. Anyway, I am not one to judge and condemn for past "behaviour" unless I decide (and I know all lol) that behaviour is malicious). It's good that you can recognise your black and white thinking. Things will get better!

Thanks Lindenblüte :-)
It's probably the fall blahs or something. I'm doing pretty well. I'm working 10 hrs/week and I have 2 classes.
I haven't seen my friends since the NYC trip. I should at least e-mail them or something. I don't have any study buddies. I don't know anyone in my classes.

you should get in touch with them. I have been feeling a lot better when I hang out with my friends lately. They kind of pull me back to who I really am. Help me find my balance. Does that make any sense?anyways,
you hang in there. Keep up your hard work, and don't forget to have a little fun every now and then (p.s. babble does not substitute for quality entertainment! Even the social board!)-li

Thanks Michael.
I know what I'm feeling is probably normal. It doesn't last long. Can't be ecstatic all the time. ;-)

Thanks for writing that Rainbutterfly
:-)I do have a lot of black and white thinking. It's going to take some work to change that.
