One of these days, before I die, I would love to attend one of these conventions. It always looks like you’re having so much fun.
I started reading a book called 8 Minute Meditation – written by a guy who started meditating at the advice of an older student when he was in law school. Apparently meditating helped him quite a bit. You might want to check that book out. I haven’t started the meditating yet (still reading the prologue type thing to make sure I don’t do it wrong, lol), but it couldn’t hurt to try. =)
You’re right–I have tried meditation off and on. My problem is that I can’t sit still long enough. The craziness has eased up because I made great progress on some of my lab work. I now only need three more blood draws instead of six–that helped ease my mind some. It isn’t over though.
I don’t like to jump up and down and do a screaming zombie fit at every stress factor in my life. I do let things build up and then I just blow. But I notice when I blow, things ease up a bit. As soon as I posted this, things started happening and I was getting things done. I’m hoping by the end of the month, I’ll have my lab requirements done–then I get to worry about internship. Always something to worry about–always something to kick you in the butt!
Out here on the Westcoast–we got heavy rain and some thunder and lightening. I’m weird but I love rainy days–especially if I don’t have to go out in it. I get scared of the high winds–had a fence blow down a few years back–having wind damage is no fun.
I agree with everyone else–he’s an idiot and you’re not over reacting! A lost child is never ‘no big deal’ with all that is going on nowadays. I hope you can keep your children from that idiot–he’s father in name only.
Thanks everyone for your stories and your support. Lately, I’ve been having these meltdowns and feel overwhelmed like I’m not going to get everything done. I had a nice talk with some of my classmates and they all pretty much felt the same way. We’re all excited and scared at the same time. We wonder if we’ll be able to cut it once we’re out in the field. A good portion of us are over 40–we pretty much started our lives all over again by going back to school.
But sometimes I just want to scream and scream and scream and scream! I know I’ll feel better once I get all the required work done on my labs. I know it would be foolish to turn my back on all this hard work–this represents the last two years of my life.
I just get down on myself and become so full of self-doubts and then something comes up that you’re not getting the hang of right away–the frustration builds and you start to wonder why you’re doing this to yourself.
My graduation ceremony is May 24th–I already have my cap and gown on order and might even have pictures taken. So I’m pushing ahead like I’m going to do this. At least I know I’m not alone and I know there are others on here who are dealing with a lot worse.
Thanks again for the moral support everyone. I hope to be posting good news next month.
Finally got one as well. Was at my computer when I got the email. There were only a few but a promise that there would be more later. There were five when I ordered. Hope everyone who wants one gets one.
I keep missing these as well because of my schedule. Oh well, maybe some day I’ll nab one, but I’m okay if I don’t.
Looks like you’re back on track and I’m glad. The misery doesn’t seem to want to let up here–I still keep hoping good things will come to all.
I understand your fears and yes, things could go wrong. But your son is very young and they recover quickly. I had my T&A done when I was 13 and there was a little girl amongst us. She was up and walking around the next morning while I just lay there feeling miserable. The good thing I remembered was getting ice cream…..I’ll say a little prayer for him.
Sorry that your aunt has to go through this setuna. I’ll definitely keep her in my thoughts. I wish the best for you as well–it isn’t easy when a loved one becomes ill.
