Jeali,
I'm a student too, and it's so hard to try to maintain a high level of performance when those around you seem to have it much easier.Are you getting any kind of counseling/therapy to help you deal with the lifestyle/environmental issues that are getting you so down?
And, perhaps taking a semester leave of absence is not a bad plan, or take your classes pass/fail if that's an option. Take care of yourself, and your passions will return. you can do this.
Write a list, or an e-mail. Tell pdoc how miserable you are. Your pdoc sounds very sympathetic, and you guys have a good relationship. He will definitely try to help you.
In the meanwhile, figure out where you want to be when you are recovering. Do you want to be in a safe place, where you can take a walk in the afternoon and not worry about the homework that you are presently neglecting? Do you want to have a freezer stocked with healthy organic frozen entrees for you to pop in the microwave when you have no energy to cook? You can make these things happen for yourself. Cut down on some of your obligations, and spend an afternoon stocking your place so that you can feel at ease, comfortable and nurtured. Buy yourself some fresh flowers, and some bubble bath. Make your bed and put some light reading material nearby for when you just want to chill out.
Trust me, if you want to be taken care of, home is the best place to start. Make it your comfort pod.
Your psychosomatic spa.Best of luck to you- sending you some healing vibes~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<><><><><><><
