Apr 2013

Dropped out of university 4 or 5 times before. Walked away from one job. I was a shut in for quite a while. I know I can't keep running but I feel like going forward is going to kill me too. I'm totally exhausted at the end of every day and I don't want to face the world. The very thought of getting a job and having to face responsibilities, deadlines etc makes me think of suicide. I'm having enough trouble getting simple assignments and tests done and my stress level is already at a 10 most of the time. I come home and cry many days.

I've been on a series of meds and seen a therapist and psychiatrist with little benefit. I suppose I should keep trying.

Again thank you very much for the kind reply.
