The thing is, I've now realized that maybe I expect too much of myself; academically, financially and emotionally. I've sort of never been satisfied with any shortcomings nor have been fazed by any of my achievements. And when I am, it's usually very short term.
I have some important papers to turn in. These "papers" are what drew me deeper into my depression which was already serious in the summer of 2014. I want to make sure everything is perfect from the wording to the grammar. This time to the point where I don't end up kicking myself.
Maybe then I might see an on-campus counselor but I also suffer from social anxiety too (That's another story). I don't know. I'll see, though.
Apologies if this was too long.

I hope you see the school counselor. Negative thinking is not you speaking, it is your depression speaking. Yes, there is no magic but our lives are worth living and yes, we have the right to hope for the best and have good expectations about ourselves. It is our right and part of our human dignity
. I send you a big hug and all my support whatever you choose to do.
