i'm bummed because i had to drop a class that i signed up for for the fall. it was a poetry class.
it seems the professor is grading for attendance and she has TONS of outside events we have to attend and of course weekly attendance and if we miss more than three classes we would fail.well with my med changes right now i knew i'd miss three classes so i asked her if id be better off dropping the class or is there a work-around. she replyed simply "yes". meaning drop the class.
i guess a tiny part of me is relieved, cuz there was so much outside work i knew i couldn't handle all of it with all the emotional cr@p going on with me...and more on the way with the new meds i'll be trying here soon.
but i really wanted to do something for me...just me.
anyway today i went to the college and bought a couple of the books that she recommeneded for the class anyway. so i can read those.the only other poetry classes offered are right in the middle of the day, one during staff mtgs at work and the other would cut into my therapy on thursdays.
so that's that.... :(

B2chica sounds like it's probably for the best. And you can take it next semester and if you read the books you will be ahead of the others. You have a very busy life. Phillipa

I am sorry for that B2c. I was going to go back to school and take some classes but one of my school's did not send in my transcript in time to get enrolled. So I will have to wait another semester. I understand your frustration. I also messed up my daughter's paperwork in her school and now I am just a screw up all the way around. TIme to go back to bed and stay there.
Sorry about the job too. Sometimes life is just hard isn't it.

Hear Hear!!!
I have this undeniable feeling everytime I meet people, I say to myself, or rather a voice says it, "i wonder what she/he would say if they knew the real me. the one in therapy." I think that might be hurting my chances in therapy. So under the blanket I must stay.

ps one day I will feel strong enough to post a thread about it but not now, heavy sigh.

I'm sorry it didn't work out with the poetry class. At least you can follow the texts and get ahead for next semester, if you take it then. Just a question, are you still finding time to paint/make art? Perhaps you can still do things just for you, but when you're feeling up to it?
I hope you manage through the change of boss. It sucks when life is so unsettling.

i don't have time to paint, i think i could make time at night, but i'm so tired cuz of meds and honestly lack of motivation...i just don't care. i'm still depressed and just don't give a cr@p.
i enjoy nothing.
i do get some coloring in, with my little one...she can't really color but she takes a crayon and goes over one page while i color on the other. but her attention soon changes to something else so i barely get it done...
so there's my (maybe) 5 minutes of 'me' fun time each day.what a life huh.
i can't even enjoy my littleone. i cant even be fun for her.
d@mn i hate this.
