I am really not doing so well & I am struggling. I can't seem to function too well atm. I am shutting down. I saw my psych today, and she doesn't think doing exercise science is going to be good choice to study because there is not much work available in this field.
I am not able to articulate too well, what is happening for me. I am just exhasuted and scared and alone.

I am hoping it will give me more stability and lifting of my depression (my spark returns lol).
My goal for treatment- to learn more coping strategies and to feel better about myself

You know how I think
And I think pressure from day to day functioning is probably one of the most important ones

@Zoe7 I was only going to do one subject this semseter
In response to: Re: I am not doing so well

One subject is so achievable - would let you slowly dip your toes into the course and also see if you can do it long term @oceangirl
Can you start the subject while you are in hospital?

Its on campus
