Hey butterfly. Glad you're going to talk to the therapist. It is good to have regular meetings of that sort.

Try to make small goals for every day. I know it is hard. Maybe tomorrow you can get out of bed for a few hours and go for a walk. Something simple. Doesn't have to be that much. Just try have a goal in mind so you can will yourself forward. Depression is hard work. If you like to go to spinning class you'll understand what I mean, but it's like everybody else has their resistance low on their bike. With depression, the resistance is all the way up. That's just the nature of the disease and sometimes there's nothing you can do to change that for a while.

While you can't bike as fast as everyone around you, you can still bike slow and steady with the resistance high. It's all about your life and moving forward. Life may seem unendurable to you today, but you must keep going forward. I believe you can make it through school, but even if you end up deciding to take some time off, you have to have a goal in mind that you can work towards a little bit every day. Even if its at a snail's pace.
