What seems to stop me from doing things is that my job has me working 10 to 11 hours a day. When my workday ends I am too physically and mentally tired to do anything else. Then I have these mandatory courses I am supposed to do for my job and that has monopolized me for 2 months now.
I would venture to say that being depressed...and you know why...is, in itself, depressive!

All my support base is in the US. All my dear friends are there. Here, in Australia, I really don't have any BFF's. I am completely isolated. There's a project I am working on...for "me"...that I was sure going back to university would help. But the "powers that be" are just not giving me a break....

You are so right about being too tired to accomplish anything after a long day at work. But it figures that all those things you want to do...are for yourself...and you are too tired to do them. Yep. Me, too.
