Re: Isolating in College (now with roommates!) - April 28th 2012, 05:09 PM

Hey,

Thanks for all your feedback, guys. The landlady has mentioned before that I study very hard and should take more breaks, and in response I have mentioned finals coming up and that I'll be taking a break after. So she knows about that and she's sympathetic to how stressful it is.

I feel weird leaving post-it notes and stuff because to me it feels kind of cold...I rarely see these people during the day anyway. My roommates work full-time and almost always have plans on the weekend. I'm a full-time honors student, and I have plans most weekends also. So going out of my way once in a while when I happen to see them wouldn't be a problem normally. I don't want to set the precedent of being the post-it person. I get along with everyone, and we're all courteous. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. I'm going to make an effort today to talk to my landlady and just mention that I was stressed and tired yesterday.

I have talked to a psychologist on campus and she has been very helpful. I recently had an appointment with a psychologist off-campus and may continue to see her. I have tried medication before and really didn't respond well to it, so I'm a little gun-shy of trying it again. Every psychologist I have talked to recently has said that they think I can do it without meds.

Blah.. I hate dealing with this.

Thanks guys.
