I think I’m depressed. I’m all nervous at least. I keep procrastinating and altogether avoiding things. I’m behind on my school work and it’s making me sick worrying over it. I don’t know what my problem is.

I’ve started sitting with my grandmother three days a week. So far it’s been easy peasy. I’m able to work on my homework or do some kind of handwork. I’m able to leave when it’s time to get the kids. Mamaw has been agreeable.

Things around the house are going really well. My kids are all on their best behavior and doing well in school. They help out and they haven’t been fighting with each other. My husband and I are happy and I have no complaints there.

So, I don’t know why I feel this way. Bailey thinks I’m edgy because I’ve put off doing some homework. She may be right. The longer I procrastinate the more nervous I feel and the more I want to avoid doing it.
I’m just going to dig right in and not go to bed tonight until I’m all caught up or even ahead. If that doesn’t make me feel better I think I may go to the doctor.

    From what you stated you don't have any of the signs that would indicate depression. You're probably just going thru a phase where you have a lot to do and it's become somewhat overwhelming. I think everyone in their lifetime has gone thru a stage where they procrastinate and avoid doing things. My husband for example knows he has to clean up his study since it has become a pigpen but he avoids it like the plague. HEHE!!!
    Just start off slowly with the homework and before you know it you will have it done.
    Maybe you need a special day to yourself, do something nice for yourself, take a relaxing bubblebath, something that would make you happy.
    Hope you feel better real soon.

    I wouldn't worry to much about depression. Not saying it possible, but worrying over it is just going to make things much worse. It sounds like too much stress to me. School could always put me in knots. Are you taking a heavy term of classes? I got that way when I was taking more classes than what was considered full time. Try to just plug away at the homework, and maybe the feeling will go away once you are current on everything again. Try to relax a little when you get the moment and hang in there. Much Love, Meg

    You just might talk yourself into depression. "I think I'm depressed, I think I'm depressed, I guess I am depressed." Or you might be reading to many of the down people on lit net. Put on some of your favorite music and try that dancing again. That should do it.

    It's probably the homework, Moth-H. I get this feeling too when I have lots of college work put off. I'm sure it's not depression...or at least I hope it's not

    I hope so. I have a history, but have done very well for about the past three years. There are some physical symptoms, but I'm hoping they subside when this homework is done.
