Leviathan

I am beginning to face the very real prospect of either seeking professional help or not being able to continue college. Ever since last march everything has gotten so much worse: my anxiety attacks are so severe that I can't talk to anybody in person, my mood swings are swift and strong, and almost any little thing can trigger an intense feeling of depression. I believe that I will at least get to continue through to this next semester, but if I screw up one more time, I'm done with school until I can take care of this problem. Coming from high school where I was happy, productive, and I felt so successful in most aspects of my life, I feel like I'm in hell, even though I know it could be so much worse.

My apologies for the more serious post, but it seems like everything is so much more serious and less fun these days.

Actually, it was kind of rhetorical musing. I plan on doing everything I can to stay in school.

Well, if they decide medication is part of the solution make sure they give you something that lasts for no less than a complete day.

Anti-depressants that only last for 12 hours lead to forgotten doses and that leads to mood swings. Which is no fun at all.

Huzzah for being depressed and functional.
