I I always hesitate to post when I'm doing well, cause I feel like that would be bragging or something, but I should have known that it wouldn't last. I passed all of my courses and did quite well on them to boot. Not perfectly, but I needed practice on fighting my need for perfection anyways. Now that I've finished my spring courses, I don't have anything to do, no job, no nothing and that's causing a bit of a downward slide, back into a negative mood. I'd focused all of my live, my happiness on school. causing me some very anxious nights, but also providing me with much to me proud of and celebrate when I was doing well. However I neglected the other facets of my life. I don't have too many friends and none I really trust in difficult times. I have no hobbies that I enjoy and can take up when I'm feeling down. My eating is irregular, depending on whether on not I feel like getting up and preparing something. My mom always makes supper so I do eat at least once a day. I don't exercise enough, although I am trying to get out and walk more. I need to get a job and get out of the house more, but none of the places I dropped a resume off at, have called me back, with the except of a place that interviewed me and didn't want to. I guess I just need to attend to all parts of my life, but the task seems somewhat overwhelming. Thanks for listening to me complain.
