Hi Rhiannonsmoon, I wouldn't mind advice, but I said I wouldn't ask for it because I often get nervous and go into defensive mode when I check my threads, if I end up checking them at all, either because I get no replies or really unhelpful/insulting/offensive replies. That's why my forum mentality is to be nonchalant - it's more to do with feeling like a loser than actually not wanting any advice.

@Tatiaz, I'm so glad I'm not the only one! It's funny though, college by itself was a fair amount of work anyway, but I really didn't feel better until I had a job along with it (which was part time, but I worked overtime A LOT on purpose). Now that I think about it, I still wasn't 100% well, but I was leaps and bounds better than when I wasn't working. Weekends were still killer, though. I think part of it is because we feel like we're achieving something (even if it's just money) and it's validating, not just distracting, maybe?
