“Don’t worry about where or who you’re going to be in five years. Like high school, you’re going to look back and wish you had done so many things differently. Know that and do them differently now. Focus on what’s in front on you. Work on the relationship you have with yourself first. Slow down. Enjoy today. It’s okay to not know. Eat alone in restaurants. Stop trying to prove something. Seek growth instead of validation. Shatter your veneer. Be heard. Draw boundaries. Pull from your Solid Self as much as you can. Sweat. Process (get therapy). Travel. Don’t compartmentalize people. Love fearlessly, even though you’ve been crushed before. Practice gratitude. Eat clean. Pull yourself out of the victim position. Exercise your forgiveness muscle (you will need this). Don’t be concerned with what others think of you. Accept your story. Don’t chase paper. Seek truth. Be patient. - Angry (via theangrytherapist)”

I want to runaway. I’m having such a difficult time with life right now, that I feel mentally handicapped. I have a mountain of things to do and my head is just not in it.
I’m angry. I’m emotional. I’m overwhelmed. I’m disappointed. I’m sad. I’m worried. I’m ANXIOUS beyond belief.
I know this will eventually pass. But fuck, why does it have to suck so bad right now?
You can be disappointed but so many times before you become numb to it.
I can’t bring myself to care. *shrugs*
Three things:
1. My cat is cute.
2. I really like my boyfriend.
3. I’m off the wagon, but life happens & I’ll be back on it sooner rather than later.

This week has been a shitty week for me. I’ve had to put in so much time and energy into school assignments and exams that my stress level has been through the roof. I still have multiple research papers to write and 3 final exams to sit for within the next 1.5 weeks.
Tonight I found out that I will not be receiving a scholarship I applied for that I really, REALLY needed for grad school this August. Not only that, I’m so overwhelmed with finishing undergrad once and for all, that I can’t even focus on all the paperwork and things that need to be done for grad school. The Facebook page that my grad school classmates are on just causes me further anxiety about starting this rigorous program. Every post I read on their just gives me a mini panic attack.
My point is that I’m having a really hard time juggling all the balls in the air right now. My food today sucked. I was so drained by the week that I just let today defeat me on multiple levels. I’m not even going to weigh myself on Monday because I’ve only worked out like twice this week and I don’t want the anxiety of the scale added on to my long list of worries.
I think I just need a minute to get my shit together and then refocus on my weight loss goals.
For the sake of honesty:

Crappy school week has been more crappy than expected. It will continue to suck until this is all over. So much to do, so little time.
I couldn’t bring myself to get up early and go out into the rain to get to the gym. So I didn’t. It would’ve been a rushed workout anyway. If I’m not dead by tomorrow night, I’ll try to make an appearance. But there’s still so much to do for tomorrow and for Friday.

Today I wanted to eat everything, but I only ate some things lol. It was a high day for me calorie wise and thats fine since I’ve been up since 5:15 and only ate when I was hungry. Granted, a couple of those choices could’ve been better, but nothing outrageous. I overestimated on the calorie counts of some things today, just to be safe.

School work is draining and I can’t wait for the semester to be over. I went to the gym this morning and worked out for almost an hour.
I just wanna fast forward to Friday night and be done with this week. I’m clearly not in a cheery mood tonight.

Re-reading this, I realize my thoughts are all over the place but oh well. Good night folks.
