I was flipping through Facebook, looking at everyone's pictures and updates....And, all of a sudden, I realized I am tired of feeling like everyone has a more interesting or better life than me, for one reason or another. I am exhausted at constantly criticizing myself for just about everything--spending money on this or that, not working hard

I appreciate that, Carrie. I think that's what is frustrating, that I did get myself up here and am in this fantastic place, but that I still feel overwhelmed by anxiety. I suppose on one hand it is understandable, this isn't the most calming of places. Still, I just really dislike this uneasiness. I am trying to realize that even if I do get accepted to school, it won't solve everything. So, when I start to think like that, I start racking my brain about what will help me let goes of this constant guilt. I've gotten to the point where it just seems normal to feel this way--not comfortable, but normal--like, I don't know how it feels to not be in this state of flux all the time

Not putting things off till tommorrow has done immense things for my state of well being and sense of accomplishment. I am still not content, and there are things that I wish simply were not the way they were, but all of that aside, simply believing that I can do something, and that I can do it now, has made a world of difference. Hope my sharing helps.

I appreciate your words. It helps knowing other people are going through similar struggles. I feel like recognizing weakness and stressed helps bring it to the surface so that we can go forward to the best of our ability.
