still here, although there are times I wish I wasn't.
still doing homework, which is hard as I seem to be depressed again.
still finding all sorts of buttons, which does not make the task any easier.
still...
how do I have faith in myself when I'm convinced I'm just going to screw it all up again?
g'night LJ world.

Then again it's late and I'm rambling. I hope this post was of some worth.

Besides, you've got plenty of time to go out, try something, totally screw it up, have an "a ha!" experience, and start from scratch and get it Very Right.
Relax. The Universe has you right where She wants you. Be. Learn. And Do Great Things.

Of course, when you get back under all the stressors, it
mightprobably would all go to hell again. Such are meds.Still--does the Unitarian church you go to have access to a retreat center? I think if you could go away for a long weekend every six weeks or so and just BE for a few days--not worry about meals, take long walks, see the Katster for the trees--it would do you a lot of good.
Do stars know they are shining, Kat? or do they only know by the light others reflect back at them?
