Mental
I am crazy.
Anxiety
My assignment count is down to 3 from 5. Good job, you think? No, because I realize I have exactly 2 weeks and 1 day left. I guess technically you could consider it 2.5 though, because one of them has actually been written, but needs a little revamping. And one of them has not been proof-read. Oops, that makes it 2.5 + 0.5 = 3. Watch the Arts student attempting to do Math.
Attention Deficit Disorder
Right, so like I was saying, I am crazy. Why? Because I have a heap of journal articles to read for the 2 essays I’m trying to juggle simultaneously – I can’t decide which one I should concentrate on and so I seem to be doing both at the same time (what the? like I said, crazy), and I’m surfing blogs. What the? Like I said, crazy.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
All you people who think I don’t read your blogs, well, I do. And I just did. And I shouldn’t have, because it is now 11.21am and I should be doing work. And all I can think about is: I have so much to blog. You would think after a year I would be a little more self-controlled about blogging.
Bipolar Disorder
It’s a wonderful day. No, not because of the atrocious weather (is it supposed to be hot or cold today? I thought it was supposed to be cold, but it was so hot just now when I woke up), but because something amazing has happened. A miracle, the greatest one of all. And I am totally exhilarated, in awe, overjoyed…
Depression
I’m reading Prozac Nation now, and it is such amazing insight into people who are depressed. (Yes, I still have time to read). It is frustrating and heartstring-tugging at the same time, because I understand how clinically depressed people think and feel, while at the same time I don’t understand because I am not in their position. It is a happy book because the author recovers, but it is sad because so, so many people suffer from depression, hence Prozac Nation. She’s American, but Australians aren’t doing too well themselves either. 1 in every 5 Australians will suffer from some form of mental disorder in their lifetime. The most common one is of course, depression. Highly recommended for people who want to understand depression. Not recommended for people who are already depressed, unless you read only the last 100 pages or so.
Paranoia
I think my tutor hates me. I’m sure it’s going to rain as soon as I step out of the house. Godzilla is going to somehow escape from its aquarium and come near my person. I’m crazy.
It’s Mental Health Week in uni. They’re showing Harvie Krumpet tomorrow at Union House Theatre 1-2pm for free. It’s supposed to be some happy film, but I just want to watch it because it won the Oscar for best Clay Animation or some such. I can’t believe people actually make movies with clay animation. Well, even if it is (understandably) only 20 minutes long.
