graceiemi, I really relate to what you're talking about! I just finished my last semester of undergrad, and let me tell you it was pretty much a hell of busyness.
But your busyness seems kind of good, like you said. I'm glad you're seeing a counselor. I was also seeing one and I think it helped some. Unfortunately, now that I'm no longer a student I don't have a counselor anymore
You sound like me--being so afraid of messing up or falling short of your expectations. Sometimes our expectations can get in the way of our own happiness, if we push ourselves too hard.Try to give yourself breaks when you need them and stick with the physical activity. It sounds like you're the kind of person who is definitely going to succeed!
What is Reiki and how does it work? I had terrible stress headaches all last semester but they are better now. (for now)
Please keep us posted on how things are going, and remember, a lot of people may read posts and gain encouragement without writing anything. I've done the same thing myself tonight and yours is the first i've commented on.((((graciemi))))
