Jun 2013

I feel the need to do something is extra urgent now that I'm back. I'm still enrolled in school for next semester for what it's worth so I suppose I can lie to myself and say that this is just my summer vacation. The truth is that I feel completely lost again with not rudder or direction. I sleep most of the day away and fear going out. On the holiday I had something to do every day and actually planned out everything so I felt like I had something of a purpose. Yet I can't seem to be able to make myself do what I know I need to do right now to get better. I know I should be looking for a temp job or some form of volunteer work to fill my time but my mind resists all attempts to get better.
