> If this hamster dies, it's going to be horrible for me at this time.I think that's a nice idea, I've had many of the little critters, but you know what? I'm really falling for guinea pigs lately - a bit more cuddly, bunnies are awesome too

> I wish I had a T to talk to. I think I'm a bit draining as a friend.
It's be great if you could have that - therapists after all are supposed to help you with the stuff you struggle with, it's their job
> I think I'm going to go in for some career counselling. A friend suggested this to me. She said it really helped her find her job. She's like me, she doesn't have much job experience at all. She ended up getting a job doing statistics for the College of Physicians and Surgeons here. She analyses med-student's tests. What I'm thinking is, if she can do it, so can I (at least theoretically).
Excellent idea, very helpful when one is not sure what to do, it's nice to find things to build your experience, and it helps you figure out what you really like doing
> Ugh, here comes the horrible anxiety again...it comes in awful waves.breathe, take it easy, take a walk, you don't have to have everything together right now
