In reply to Good. Now focus on your work, and stop and smell » Tracy, posted by Rzip on February 9, 2001, at 23:42:25
I would like to echo Rzip's suggestions to you, and also encourage you to not give up on ADs or docs altogether. It can be a long row to hoe, but you are in good company here!

Now, pick a therapist (perhaps not one from the clinic) for the next couple of weeks till the end of the semester. Right now, forget the people who are no use to you and focus on your agenda. Therapists are only as good as long as they are useful and helpful to you. Otherwise, forget them. Only you can turn around your work situation. You have to reach within yourself to redefine the inner strength to pull through till the end of this week, this month, and finally this semester. Only you are going to be graded on your exams.

You only have to commit to this till the end of the semester (one step at a time). What you need most of all, in my biased opinion, is stability. With stability, comes the ability on your part to concentrate and turn around the choas and confusion that is surrounding your personal and professional situations.
