    had a rough night last night for some reason. at like. 4ish pm my brain just took a hard left turn and didn't let up till i went to sleep and woke up this morning. still feels like walking on eggshells. this "live only for today and don't focus on the future because it'll overwhelm you" tactic is terrifying and so far not that effective lmfao i think I'm doing it wrong.

    got a commission done. still need more if i'm gonna be able to get a new laptop eventually, but it's progress. i like getting commissions done, it always feels nice, even if they're few and far between. i can feel myself shutting down towards my stats class. ive got only a few weeks left but i feel so braindead i just. don't care anymore. i'm understanding and retaining less and i care less and less. i don't like math, i never have, but if i can pass and finish this then i'm free of it moving forward. just need to hold on a little longer.

    anxiety's going hard tonight for some reason. not sure how to stop it. feel kind of hopeless and helpless.

    soup gave me my will to live back today. made it on a whim after getting ingredients the other day.

    1 package pork sausage
    1 red onion diced up
    several tiny potatoes cut up
    1 green bell pepper diced up
    2 cubes instant chicken broth
    1 package pre-chopped mushrooms
    1 can black beans
    a bay leaf
    salt, pepper, paprika to taste
    enough water to cover ingredients fully

    i stirred shit around and broke up the pork in the water before things even got boiling so it'd separate a lot. cover wok with lid, let cook on low temperature till shit's done. i gave mine around an hour and change before checking.

    warm, satisfying, hearty without being Too Much. i think it'd go really great with noodles honestly.

    God so much to do this week still... I need to do. ALL of my classwork. Need to try hustling for commissions more, but I'm not holding my breath. Therapy tomorrow so I need to be pondering what to talk about and what I can actually discuss while my roomies home/right in the next room. I need to finally finish my penpal letter and send it, journal... need to maybe tidy my room/put my clothes away finally. or at least try to. I NEED to move my bed and swap out this busted ass frame with the new one, I've had it for like a fucking year now and I haven't done it because it just seems Too Much To Process. but order of operations. remainder of room needs cleaned, floor needs vacuumed, THEN bed can be moved around. Need to work on my big bang fic too. Wanted to work on art....

    ugh. no, the important thing is the classwork. that has a set due time. Therapy so long as I can get a checklist written down on topics I wanna touch on that should cut it.

    Bleh. Feel overwhelmed. Feel very overwhelmed despite there being nothing to overwhelm me. I've been flustered since my roomie had her interview earlier and I've gone to get my eyes checked and I'm just. ..... I'm overwhelmed, I guess there's not a better word for it really. I just feel like crap right now, like my brain's buzzing. :/

    had therapy. feel a bit calmer. got confirmation im not losing my fucking marbles. he reminded me that sometimes depression isn't caused by a specific event, it just... kinda biologically happens. and that in my case that might be what's happening, because I can feel my meds are doing their best but they're not able to combat all of it bc it's so intense. was also a little comforted to hear him point blank say "You've been dealt a spectacularly shitty hand in life but I'm confident you can make the most out of it". Just talking verbally about everything generally helped me feel a bit more grounded and alive, so that's good.

    still need to do All my classwork. Need to just. pick a small task and start it so i can roll through them instead of sitting at the bottom of the mountain stressing out. still feel overwhelmed and my brain feels stressed and sad, but it's not all encompassing now. i'm hoping this means i'm on my way through the spell.

    its stupid to go this route of thinking just because i can't get myself to work on my classwork for the first time this semester
    but
    i feel like i'd rather be dead right now honestly
    im tired
    my head hurts
    im done

    im going to manage to get my work done in time
    bombed a quiz because i stopped taking notes very early in the semester, but i still have an 87% in the class so its whatever
    i just need to pull together a case study and do another reply to a classmate by tonight, and then do 10 math questions and turn those in by tomorrow at midnight
    i cant afford to fuck around next week though, there's a lot of intensive shit i need to be doing and staying on top of
    i still feel kind of like everything's pointless but
    therapist might have a point with the "you're already walking this direction what would it hurt to keep walking?"

    i finished it all, turned it in, said Fuck It on how correct it was or not because i am thoroughly complete with doing these courses this semester now (esp the math dear god free me from math i never want to see math formulas again) and am free for the week. free tomorrow as well technically because i always give sunday as a free day for myself. can decompress. get brain back in functional order for the intensive shit i need to do for the week. also finished penpal letter id been dragging on for ages by just. apologizing and keeping it brief so i could get it done and sent finally bc ive been Trying to complete a letter for over a month and a half now. its all packaged and ready to go out tomorrow night to wait for the postman on monday to pick it up.

    i feel so drained. i know most of it is the depression but i think at least some of it is "the semester is almost over" mental fatigue. looking forward to a few weeks break. excited for my next classes too tho, esp the one i was originally waitlisted for. looking forward to seeing how the lessons are.

    plans for thanksgiving are secured. roomie and i are gonna get a roast chicken and make some tasty sides and nosh. weird to think it's probably my last holiday with her as my roomie. i don't even realistically know how often we'll ever talk once she does move? like... we talk a bit now but despite living together we don't rlly speak often at all and she's really inconsistent with actually responding to text on discord because she's so unfocused. so i guess i'll be having one less person to talk to in the future, considering even her long time friends and people she cares for very deeply rarely if ever hear from her unless they reach out to her first.

    i need to clean my room but i feel overwhelmed still. trying to figure out how to sort that out so i can change out the bedframe finally. it HAS to happen soon, i want it done while i've got the extra help with the frame if needed. also need to shower, i'm gross.

    3/6 classes entirely complete now. all that remains is 2 papers a math assignment im going to bullshit, and a math final im going to barely scrape by on and then be freed from the curse of math forever.

    i am a free Ryn till January 8th now. hell yeah. had zero idea what i was doing on the stats final, was making wild guesses, because i systematically forgot every single thing i learned in the span of 2 weeks. but i SHOULD wind up with a c in that class bc of high grades leading up to the failure point. everything else is A or B. pleased.

    therapy was rough. i felt like i didn't have enough to say, i kept being quiet and repetitive. stressed. but the main takeaways are "stop using should with myself" "get back into the journaling and dbt" "try to decompress as much as possible before the next semester" "try to control my narrative however i can so i feel less lost and scared"

    easier said than done but i don't want to disappoint him.
