There's only so much you can accomplish at a time. Don't beat yourself up over this. Yes, for sure it all feels overwhelming right now. You've got a lot going on.

Print a one page A4 page calendar for December. Write down the dates your commitments are due. In a different color write down when you are going to work towards achieving them.

Remember to include some "me" time in there!

I know how you feel. I have too much "end of the year" stuff to do on top of work being crazy. What helps me is to take one thing at a time and work on finishing that one thing. Try to look at it and attack it in small pieces rather than looking at the whole batch of stuff you have to get done. Then it is not so overwhelming.

I know, easier said than done. Hugs to you.

Not so great. had a first flashback with sui, and it scares me that it could happen again... what if I can't break state fast enough???? Then again the stress doesn't help. I'm at the library to try and focus easier and for part of the time it works but then I go back to last night and get scared again. I'm trying to deal with it and force myself to keep working but there's also a part of me that wants the pain to end. Which is a bigger red flag.

I've been talking with t every day, trying to get through it, but this flashback plus hallucination doesn't help things. I'm afraid of studying right now, and afraid of failing ... both are working against each other.

I'm getting more worried..... and that's not helping.

Talking to T everyday - great! How's the hygiene, eating and sleeping? Is this a situation where doing less might allow you to accomplish more?

Make a prioritized list. The hard part will be to force yourself to concentrate on item #1 and not letting the rest of the list run through your head every 15 seconds. Once you knock off a few items you'll start to feel much better.

I tried to make a list but then got pissed off that there was so much to do.... and not enough that can be done quickly. I ended up playing pool to try and reduce anger... and had to take a PRN to hopefully study. I've gotten some done but my one class.... wait there's actually 3... all of them.. enough that I am screaming and wanting some sort of relief or something that would just calm my mind... I see pdoc tomorrow and maybe he will allow me to be on adderall for a short period just to get through the last week of classes. that's it, just a week not enough for an addiction to start, but just enough to help. Oh and too much stress..... my some what list is on my blog and it's extensively short. Problem I have like 3-4 weeks of info to get though in a very short time... and I'm freaking out... oh and I had a flashback this morning..... so not helpful. and anxiety is high..... Finals I hate you!!!!
