I want to feel like myself again.

My goodness. I really feel pretty down. I just want to crawl in a hole for a little while. I don't want to update my LJ. I don't want to share anything with the world. I just want to internalize everything and keep it to myself

Well if you need help on focusing on things you should write down what you want to accomplish and have a set time for it. The time doesn’t have to be a date or time limit but a goal. Like I want to do _______ before I go to Korea. And if there’s a list of things to do before set time, then order them by importance. Then you can start to do only one thing at a time and check them off. Also make sure you reward yourself for your good efforts. Like you have to write a page before you can get a drink. Or something like that. This helps remind you that you’re the only one who is going to do it and that you are going to help yourself by completely it.
If all else fail blame it on someone that can’t fight back :-p

Heh. Yeah, I have been making lists of things I would like to do before I go to Korea; it's just that I'm not in the best state of mind to accomplish them right now. Well... I have accopmlished some of the things I wanted to do, just not most of them. I have started some of my goals, I just haven't followed them through to fruition. So it's somewhere in between. Thanks for the advice, though. I think I know just the person to blame everything on. :-p

Oh patty pat,

The empty feeling is quite a difficult one to get through. Days pass and you look back and dont know how they passed on by and it feels like you arent taking with you a thing from each day. Maybe you are just feeling a bit like you're waiting right now to find out when you leave and its not.. real yet? I know it doesnt feel real to me.
Dont worry about the Artist Way thing. You may just want to read through the book without doing any of the activities. Or try the Artist date thing cos that seemed to really cheer me up... I did the date thing before I did the monster. I was dreading the monster thing and I had no clue what I wanted to do and then the day after I did the date thing I kinda felt like giving it a shot and it ended up consuming me...
Anyway I am rambling on and on here but you know where I am if you need to talk I am always here to listen (I promise Ill shutup :P )

*hugs*

Thanks again, Donna. You always know the right things to say to cheer me up.
