I guess that means my manic / hypomanic / whatever is over.
Woke up in the small hours in the morning with a majorly runny nose too... hayfeaver I think. Been running all day. Been through half a box of tissues already.
But I can't tell if my eyes are watery or if I am crying.
I have been given a 6 month extension on my thesis. Thank god. Now I can throw it out and start again. I don't like it. It is crap. Hard to read. Too dense. I want to write so people can understand. Not just one or two people. Everybody. I am not very good at that. All day I would write for a bit and say 'thats 1% done, thats 2% done' etc. Only got to 2. Oh well, I have 6 months :-)
I grieve that my parents never loved me
That I was never allowed to have any friends
That I was never taught how to make friends
and keep them
I grieve that I will probably never feel comfortable around people
Or in a healthy relationship
That I will never be able to just be
Without escaping into my head
I grieve that I have never really felt loved
That I have never really loved
That I probably never will be capable of that
Ah well. Such is life.

A--
You can write a thesis in 6 months. I guarantee it. Email me and we can discuss it if you want. I'm at shar from babble at yahoo dot com. The shar from babble has underlines instead of spaces.I used to teach a course in "Completing your dissertation or thesis" at the local university's 'informal classes.' In researching the course and designing the curriculum, I discovered that about 50 percent of Ph.D. students, and 70 or more percent of the Master's students do not finish their degrees. So, you are not alone!
I am willing to discuss your situation if you want.
I think I can also receive "Babblemail" .

Holey crap! Don't tell me that! Seriously though, I PLAN TO COMPLETE, everything is going to be ok. See if I am enrolled then I recieve the student allowance (which covers my basic living costs). By extending my enrollment I am taken care of until September without having to go doing something rash like committing myself to full time course work or going and getting a job.
But you do indeed sound like an invaluable resource :-)
I shall babblemail ya when I am feeling like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. Whats the point?
Bound to happen. Just bound to :-)
