Today has been a tough day for me. I have been struggling quite a bit through some negativity. I don't feel like I'm accomplishing near what I could be, or what I know I am capable of when I'm not depressed, feeling anguished, or sore and tired (not sleepy, just tired).

I'm still hanging in there, and I am still moving forward (through the motions). I keep telling myself "one day, I will be able to take care of myself and I can prove it now"... I'm trying. I just hope I am able to get some mental, emotional, and physical energy back soon (especially once school starts).

Just remember that this will pass. Don't beat yourself up for not being at full capacity. It's just the illness talking, that's not how you really are.

Hi jjgbirder

I'm sorry it's so tough for you right now
The feeling of tiredness........I'm reading that as almost completely physically and emotionally drained.............trying to force your way through..........despite such a heavy weight on you...........??? That or close, or similar, or just the feeling I think a lot of people on here will understand
But you know..........under that I'm majorly impressed by the seeds of actual positivity, if maybe you can begin to feel and nurture them a little more.........??
What you're really saying there is.........."I know I can achieve things, I know that I can and I will get there........in time I will accomplish a lot more........I have it in me..........right now I'm having to slow the pace and I'm doing the best I can right now.........it's not easy but the best I can do............which is really something.........and in time it will get better".
And you know...........that is seriously impressive
So..........massive kudos, and if we can help you on your journey............I think lots of us can empathise with "tough".............it can be real hard at times without some real support..........so great that you're with us at PC

Another horrible, terrible, very bad day with myself. Campus is quiet at the moment. I'm so unmotivated! Part of me just wants to quit school...

Hi jjgbirder

I'm sorry you've still been finding things tough
And the unmotivated bit..........do you think maybe you could set yourself some real small, managable goals to aim for..........whatever they are!!
Not forgetting to give yourself plenty of praise if you accomplish them!!!
And if there's a guidance counsellor, or the equivalent, on campus maybe they could help a little??
But sending you hugs and hoping today is/has been/will be a bit better of a day for you??
