As the last thread reached 100 pages, here's the new one.

How are you feeling today?

I had an exam that I barely studied for, didn't buy the books for it and forgot to bring the printed treadings I did have (it was open book). I hope I did okay; a 70 would be fantastic.

It's such a relief to be done with almost everything. Just one more exam I have plenty of time to study for.

I'm also seeing a therapist every week. Finally!

In general, feeling good. Bit tired, but good. Let's see how long I can keep it up.

If you want to go back to college, I say go for it! What's holding you back? Your age might mean you need more time to get back into the studying groove, but there are courses and books for mature learners that could help you out. Much older people have graduated from college. Let us know what you decide.

I am 51 and started school last October. Made Dean's list and am amazed at how good it feels to succeed.

I got a nice email today, somebody is doing fine although there is struggle. It made me think I can do it, as well

If it weren't for my other two, I'd feel a lot worse about myself. A lot worse. Something I hold onto, when these rage sessions ensue. Years, gosh, first attempt with a LISW, tried rewards chart at age of 7? When pediatrician mentioned it was abnormal. Those were hours, day in day out. Better than where it was...

Drained, I'm drained. Then it's been mixed bag, when he turns to his father...coddling, enabling or well, not backed up.

He's grounded.

Looking at this school provided listing. Not sure...will be third attempt with a counselor.

Glad there is bag of sheets right there, that dent looks painted, clearly before me...

Well, I have been feeling pretty good today, just got over the main hump of my exams, only a few left to go. The downside mainly is the anxiety attacks, the stress of exams has been triggering anxiety attacks, but thankfully the Rivotril helps that.

Had an up and down day, the up was anger and anxiety, the down was exhaustion and sleep. Normally, anger and anxiety would be something negative and at the time that's how they felt, but just having the energy to have and feel those emotions feels like a breakthrough.

I'm a touch wired right now, probably because I slept most of the evening.

I feel horrible. I am so sad and uneasy and I don't know what to do with myself; I want to do everything and nothing at the same time. I feel like I have to pour my heart out to someone, to cry and be held and not judged while I do, instead of crying alone in the bathroom. But that'll never happen because I have no one.

Not really good. But to tired to even talk about it.
Poor sleep...since Sunday...lots of nightmares. Wake up early today, it was an holiday, my neighbour was at home, so I had to heard hear music the all morning. Couldn't sleep anymore. Did nothing but sit on my bed with my computer and watch series episodes I had seen.
Detacheded and super lazy.

Having a more down day than usual, can't exactly pinpoint why. Could be because the weekend's coming up and I detest weekends lately. Could also be because my husband has plans tonight and Saturday without me. I just feel so alone and disconnected from the world. It's only 9:04 and I have nothing to do for about 2-1/2 hours, so I'll just do my usual f***ed up internet stuff.

I feel alright for now, earlier I got offended on another site because someone implied only a mentally ill person could murder their child, which leads to only mentally ill people commit murder...only a mentally ill person could do this vile thing. Well it was BS and I said so, then they still didn't get it so I had to re-explain that one does not have to be mentally ill to do vile things to another human.....just irks me, why are people so ignorant.
