Part 3
There's actually another problem on top of all this.
On my certification training, I'm far behind...keeping my morale up is definitely having a lot to with it. At this point, I know I'm definitely not going to be fully ready to take the test before the fall semester starts. So now there's another problem: Either just settle for reading the rest at this point and hope that it sticks (which is probably what I'm going to try to do), or concede that this is simply not meant to be without driving myself nuts during the fall.
I should have seen this coming, given that I have major confidence and self-esteem problems. But in my usual lack of wisdom, I didn't...and now I really don't like what I've left myself with, it basically has me to the point of kicking myself.

Okay, just read through this one and the last 2...I know it\'s not ideal to be on medication when you\'d rather be in therapy, but it\'s not forever. And, as you mentioned, it could be different this time because it won\'t just be a mask.
With the certification...I don\'t know a lot about study habits besides what we\'ve already talked about, but have you ever tried to structure your studying? Like...figure out exactly what needs to be done in order for you to complete everything on time. Then, chop that up into segments that you do every day, or every other day, or however it works best for you. That way, you\'ll know for sure that if you complete your tasks for that day, you\'re keeping on top of it and moving toward completing it on time...does that make sense? I hope so.
Wish that I had something better, but I\'ve never really been a good studier (not sure if that\'s a word LOL).
And you should absolutely make time to come here, or make time for something positive. Sounds like you\'re going to be under a great deal of stress, and if you dont\' have an outlet for it...well in my case, that\'s a meltdown. So find something to let the tension out, no matter what it is, as long as it\'s healthy. Do you exercise regularly? That can be great for stress and depression, I\'m trying to get back into my old routine right now.
Babbling lol...caffeine\'s still in my brain apparently :P But I hope you\'re doing well.
