hi rgb-- thanks for the suggestion and for your understanding. yeah, classes are one thing that is stressing me out-- with 5 or 6 classes a day, i know i need to be there, but i can't work up the energy, i know that once i fall behind, i won't be able to make up lost ground, so once i miss class, i'm even more disinclined to go back because i'm afraid of being caught unprepared. i guess it is a healthy anxiety in some ways, but it's also a vicious cycle making it all the harder to overcome this exhaustion.
i'm working on adding an antidepressant to my regimen but am not that hopeful about it helping. For one thing, I feel like I can't wait a month or however long it takes for these things to work! Equally important, though, is the fact that antidepressants, especially SSRIs, have tended to make me more anxious and agitated, at least in the beginning. i'm looking for something that will deaden my anxiety response, not enhance it.
blah... i feel stuck.
