is there anybody out here?
is it bad to hope one gets a major illness involving hospitalization to get out of going to school?
how do you tell if you're burned out?
what do you do if you feel so very alone in the world?

I'm here... though been avoiding IRC lately because of teh timesink factor. I know I've hoped for the major illness thing to get out of school before... but I think that maybe that is bad. And you could call it a burned-out sign, methinks.

Is there anything I can do to help?

When you feel like all that energy you had for the past few weeks suddenly has disappeared, when it takes a major effort just to convince yourself to get out of bed in the morning, when even normal things seem to be Just Too Much Effort to be worth doing... That's burnout.

Yes, we're here.

> is it bad to hope one gets a major illness involving hospitalization to get out of going to school?
I've sometimes wanted to have a heart attack just to avoid the stresses of living. It's not bad to hope for things like that, but there's probably a better way to get what you need.

> how do you tell if you're burned out?
You sound much more depressed than burned out. That's the problem I'd work on first.

> what do you do if you feel so very alone in the world?
You reach out to people, as you're trying to do right now.

Find a way to hold together, find some help ...

I'm here

No, you're not alone. No it's not bad to wish for a break, no matter how. And the best thing to do is to hold on tight too someone who cares. [even if it's in a zen way.]
