Moving On
I am starting this journal to achieve a goal. My goal is to be much happier with myself, despite the fact that I have very few friends. I sometimes bury myself in my work. I am a college student and I work a full-time job. With this very busy schedule, I find it hard to meet new people with common interests. I start feeling down when I have no one to "hang" with. So, much of my spare time is spent alone at home watching movies/TV shows borrowed from the local library. I am clinically depressed. I no longer see my counselor at the university and have weened myself off my meds (zoloft). But, I still seem deeply depressed at times. Maybe I should schedule another appt. with my counselor. I was doing really good for about 9 months or so but, have been in a emotional down swing lately. If I could only find a better job with more earning potential, maybe I could get out more. I have a seasonal disorder. now that fall has begun, I really feel down but, I refuse to start taking zoloft again. I do not want to be on any meds! I will tough it out! Some days are better than others. I'll have to take the good with the bad! Oh well, maybe tomorrow will be a better day!
