Feeling really annoyed and down. Really annoyed because I have a few really big papers to write, and I just can't seem to do them. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!? Ugh, I'm so frustrated. I've wasted more than half of the day, not doing this paper that is due today! I really need to get on this.

And randomly, I'm starting to wonder if I am like my grandma, who was depressed and anxious a lot and committed suicide 2 years ago. I don't want to live my whole life feeling this way, and I have no idea how to get back to facing life without fear...embracing the world.

Feeling utterly hopeless and worthless right now, and not too happy about it either.

Don't even want to go to my therapy session tomorrow.

I know how you feel with being unable to do your work. I have 200 pages left to read of a novel that I have an essay due on on Friday. I haven't even picked up the book today. You're not alone in your frustration.

Also, I wanted to say that I'm sorry about your grandma. Try to remember that you aren't her -- depression may have genetic links but it manifests differently in everyone. There's no guarantee you'll go through your life feeling the way you do. It's good that you're in therapy and good that you're addressing this. You're doing the right thing, the healthy thing, and I believe you CAN get better.

thanks so much. I was able to get to work on this paper that is supposed to be due today, so now I just need to get that turned in. Feels good to have that off my chest, and now just need to focus on the two other papers I have left for the week. Thanks for being there and just listening...Thanks for letting me know I'm doing the right thing, I know it's true, sometimes I just forget and need that reminder that therapy is going to continue to be good for me.
Thanks for this!
