YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

I feel tired,


I set some goal that I didn't accomplish, it was way too large. Need to break it down,

I acted impulsive in a work situation, I reacted to some stupid remark in a sort of off the sleeve-aggressive-teenager way, (i know i sound obscure, but i'm trying to conceal data-real scared of being identified). I was so scared that I am spirling down. I have up till now did excellent in my job, and I think that part of the reason for getting fied in the previous job was being impuslive.

I feel super fat and I also am pretty fat.

I want to read a little bit of a very good novel I'm reading and go to sleep and have a good night sleep and wake up fresh and set a new goal.

I handed in one of the two papers I needed to hand in!!!!! It felt the best. The paper is not perfect and not excellent but I really want to put behind me my student phase of my life.

It is keeping me back by consuming a lot of my time and in a way it is a nice escape from the world, if I am making any sense. I mean- I can say- i can do less exercise, keep the house messy, not engage in as much social activity as I should, because I have to complete my degreee.


I am one year behind my year, becuase I changed a track and sort of took a semester of for maternity leave. My final year though includes only 2 papers. and I have submitted one.


Thanks for listening

Awesome! Good job.

I know what you mean. Be careful, though, because that can bite you in the ass. I have spent my entire adult life putting things like that off until I get done with something "more important", and I got to the point where not only am I not done with the "more important" stuff, but I feel like I cheated myself out of a life.

Really good work on the paper, though. Following through and finishing things is hard. We don't give ourselves enough credit most of the time for stuff like that.

Hi weary, sometimes, I wish I could just wish I could click the "like" button on some of the repsonses here (how shallow...)

so thanks and "like"

p.s the professor I am handing the work to has a strange policy of telling people "this is your grade" (e.g 80), if you do these impovements you can get a better grade (e.g) 90. I really hope I don't fall to this loop - all this is a seminar paper for a non thesis track, I really want my student life to be over at least for a while.
