Hi Medicated, I've had those feelings of trying to walk through quicksand before and I hate it. Maybe it would be a good idea to take to your psychologist before Wed. My therapist accepts emails and always gets back to me asap. Is that a possibility? I'm sorry you are in so much pain. Maybe you can try to make a daily list of about 3 to 5 things you want to accomplish and then check them off at the end of the day. That was a trick my therapist taught me to do. She said to make them easily attainable at first and keep making them more challenging. I hope some of this may be of use, if not maybe some of the other posters will have better ideas or insight. Good luck and I hope you do well at grad school. shaggy
