Hello all,
Boy, have I been through the wringer the past couple of weeks. Just to summarize my situation: - I am in the middle of my grad school semester, which means I am swamped with work...readings, presentations, midterms, and big term papers that I should be getting started on. - I recently found some pretty nasty black mould in my apartment that I think has been causing me anxity and mood swings since I first moved in. That in it itself is a pretty earth-shattering realization. Back in the summer I was sometimes walking through the streets in tears, in a daze, not knowing what was wrong with me. Well, now I know. - I managed to get my landlady to break my lease, which is great, but I now I have to find a new place to live by the end of the month. I live in a big city where finding a place is not so easy. What's more, I have to look for a month-to-month rent situation, as my wife will be relocating here soon, and we will be looking for a larger apartment (right now we're paying 2 rents and it's killing us financially). - I am in a new city, know few people, and so far my graduate dept. has been disappointingly unhelpful in helping me find a new place. I've found out pretty quickly that my dept. talks the big talk when it comes to being warm and friendly and helpful, but doesn't actually live up to its promises. - Oh yeah, and as I've already mentioned, my wife is living 5 hours away from me. I try to be as independant as possible so as not to involve her in my anxieties, but clearly our living apart is tough...very tough, especially at times like these. Had a bit of a nervous breakdown today. Took 1.5 of clonazepam and took a long nap. Feeling a bit better now, though I'll probably spend most of the night doing schoolwork. Hopefully I've hit rock bottom. What a year it's been so far...half-year, at least. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
