That seems to be the theme of things these days. I have a bit too much going on at the moment. It’s final exams week at school, and I’m stopping myself before I start in terms of studying. It’s been a difficult semester. Autumn terms are always hardest for me, and this one, due to [...]

Madness

Let’s take DID out of the picture for a minute. Now, let’s take out SRA. (I know, I know). At this time, bipolar disorder is what’s getting at me. I have never *felt* bipolar, really, until this semester. Now, it’s making itself the centre of my life. It is disrupting my sleep, wrecking my concentration, [...]
The Disappearing Blogger…

It occurred to me today that I should update this blog. And the other blog, for that matter. My disappearance from the blogosphere can be explained in one word: school. Summer courses are incredibly difficult. I’m currently taking a course that condenses 16 weeks of material into 6 weeks. Absolute madness. I’m taking a shorter [...]
Major Changes

In London, I was training to be a physician assistant. I was roughly 3/4 through the programme when we moved to America. Putting on my best optimism hat, I took that as a chance to go further and enter in to medical school. At University here, then, I started in premed. Then changed to English. [...]
Breakdowns

I do *not* know why I do this, but it’s a pattern– I make a great plan for success, work through it painstakingly, and then make sure it falls apart at the last minute. Lately, at least, I’ve been able to put it all back together quickly enough that there’s no lasting damage. Tonight is [...]
The Cracked Up Almost Weekend So Far

I should be cracking up. Time is passing much quicker than I’d like, and *things* are ever-approaching. I must have slipped in to delicious delirium, though. It’s almost funny. I’m working towards an end goal academically, realising that I haven’t got enough time to finish everything, and pressing on regardless. I’m even taking time to [...]
Consistency

My mind is on overload, and for once, it isn’t trauma stuff. Fortunately or unfortunately, life stuff is taking over for now. I say fortunately for obvious reasons. The unfortunate part is that I might very well be burying myself in school work to avoid dealing with those nagging little issues of grief and trauma. [...]
Tugboats and Arson

Last night on ‘Scrubs,’ the janitor said a line that I absolutely love– ‘Tugboats and arson. That’s all I ever get from you guys.’ He had asked his friends for advice and, quite literally, they suggested those two tactics. Beautiful. In spite of the rather large amount of stress I’m dealing with at the moment, [...]
The Messy Week So Far

Or month so far, as it were. May is not turning out to be lovely. On an emotional level, this week has been much better than last. The grief issues are, for the moment, being pushed out of my mind. The problem is what they’re being pushed out by. My graduate studies are coming down [...]
The BUSY Week So Far
Posted in The Week So Far, tagged alters, school, stress, teen alters on 30 April 2008 | 1 Comment »
It’s the end of the semester, and everything I’ve been ignoring is due. Not a complaint– just a statement of fact. I’m buried in a pile of books, papers, and other fun things on which I’m likely to be tested soon. One would think that, by the time you reach graduate school, the procrastination thing would [...]
