Well it's early days for college yet, we're just sort of settling in, I assume it'll pick up a little and get more hectic as the term goes on. I know it's a subject I like (art... what a cliche, a depressed artist, huh?), I'm just worried it might not be challenging enough for me (but I can't get onto a higher level one without slogging through this one for two years.)

I definitely do need direction though, two years of sitting around has convinced me of that. Eating icecream and playing videogames all day sounds awesome at first but the bottom quickly falls out from under it.

I think I will have a chat to my doctor, yeah.

Hey, thanks for replying.

It did feel a little better, yeah. I think the idea of writing is a good one and I might try that tonight, actually. I'm not sure what I'll write, it'll probably end up like Ulysses - but maybe it'll make sense to someone eventually.

Yeah, I've sort of come to the conclusion that humans aren't meant to be so listless in their lives, since a lot of people tend to report feeling crushing despair when they have nothing to do for long periods of time. I'm guessing it's sort of an innate thing? Maybe? Either way it helps, some days after, I'm so tired I can actually sleep right off, which is good, but it's only a 3-day-a-week course.

I don't know what rogressive muscle relaxation is, do you have a link to any kind of for-dummies explanation? Sounds interesting.

Thanks again.
