I'm not sure how you usually study, but can you break up your upcoming preparations for the exams into parts? Maybe forcus on the exam in 2 days. Stay in the present and worry about what is at hand first. After you make it through that exam, and you can make it through prepare to study for the others.

The depression part is tough. Maybe if you get out the materials for the first exam it may help the depression. As much as I hate it when I'm depressed, I have also found getting outside for even a few minutes helps. Maybe you could even study outside or just go for a walk.

Good Luck!

Mush, I am sorry you are struggling at such a busy time. Stress like this can be triggering. If you chart your moods and activities, it might help to look back and see what might have triggered it. Sometimes for me it can be nothing at all or nothing I can see anyway. Try to take it one day at a time. Maybe some daily meditation to relax your mind and get through the exams?.............xo

It'll be over soon, luv.

I panic in the face of stress as well. Which typically leads to overindulgence in sleep, food, or some other substance. Sadly!

I hug you xx

And I suspect you'll rock those exams ;)

I'm sorry you are feeling like this. I hope you feel better soon. HUGS

Hugs, CATE

Booooooo, Mush!!!!!!

Crap!!! NOW would be a great time for one of your 'hitting on all cylinders' spells to hit you!!!!!
That would go a long ways towards helping this situation go as well as possible!!!!

But between your brain chems doing what they want, when they want and probably not helped by the stress of the upcoming exams, I guess that it's not all that surprising that depression had to go and pick NOW to take over your body.

I hope it lifts like NOW and that you're 'back where you belong' from now until the exams are over!!!!

I don't know how prepared you are for your exams, but you sure are one smart, little cookie!!!!!
I hope that you'll be up to taking your exams no matter how shitty your mood is and that you'll score high enough to satisfy whatever standards you have to meet!!!!

I'm sorry, Mush. I really am.
Geez. This is the kind of shit where the chemical depression makes the situational depression come out and play, too!!!

Keeping good thoughts for you. It's all I can do. (((((Hugs)))))

thanks guys,

i think im putting it off until its too late I NEED TO MAN UP !!

x

Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Mush~~

You can do it!! The first five minutes of studying are the worst but once you get cracking it's not that bad. Do what you need to do to be proud of yourself!

Yep you can do this!! Hope you keep feeling better and remember the oldie but goodie "This too shall pass"! ox

"this too shall pass" is always the best way !
and definitely right about the vaginas there gina

yeah saying should be : " if you want to be tough, get some ovaries ! "

Sorry, hun... ugh. It's so hard to do anything at all when you're depressed. Just try to be nice to yourself and you will get it done.
