Thank you Thunder Bow. I am doing my best but am having a hard time with feelings of depression. I really enjoyed your response to what Detia said in her post on motivation. You said that because she slept under a tree before going home from work, she was beginning to take care of herself. I thought that was very insightful and kind of you to say.

I feel conflicted about library science because although I think it is an interesting field, I also feel this need to spend time (when I'm outside of school) learning about things that are not empirical, but rather spiritual. I listen to spiritual music, I light incense, spend alone time just meditating. I sometimes feel guilty about this because I feel like this way of living is opposite of what my professors expect of me as a professional, which is to be always rational, goal-oriented, and focus on facts. I feel like this is what contributed to my depression; I lost my sense of spiritual grounding. I am worried that I won't have what it takes to succeed in that field because I am a little spiritual and foggy-minded always. lol Does this make any sense...?

Anyway, thank you again.
