Wow, I've been busy lately.  But all this writing papers and studying and such is getting me so stressed . . . how do people survive this normally?  Had to go to my parents for Thanksgiving this weekend as well.  I told my mom before I agreed to come that the only way I'd be there was if she promised not to mention a word about me being in the hospital or anything about my depression.  She didn't say anything, but I could definitely tell she wanted to the whole time.  Ugh, she just doesn't understand.  She doesn't see why I can't just "snap out of it" and miraculously make myself better.  She doesn't realize that it just doesn't work like that, and it really frustrates me, so I just refuse to talk to her about it anymore.   Well, I should probably go back to writing my stupid paper, and hopefully (I guess) I'll make it through the week (if I really have to).
