Hi Everyone. I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would let you all know how I am doing. I'm still around here lurking I just don't have much to say. I'm still on zoloft 50mg and it's doing wonders for me. I used to have a phobia about driving and now it's getting much better, I drive a lot of places myself now with no fear. I feel much more optimistic about life and don't feel down nearly as often as I do. My boyfriend laughs at me because I'm so talkative now he says he can't get a word in sometimes. The only thing is lately I've been under a lot of stress at school and sometimes it gets the better of me. Zoloft can only do so much. I am a junior this year in college and I am really striving to keep my grades up to get accepted into a graduate program for psychology. I need at least a 3.3 in order to do that and right now I have a 3.31, but I have 3 semesters left so if I go down at all I've screwed myself. I'm really stressed about that because if I don't make it into grad school I won't forgive myself for not working harder in college. I really want to make a good life for my family...my boyfriend and I both grew up poor and we are doing everything we can to make things better for us in our future. He even wants to support me so that I don't have to work during college, because I really enjoy school and get good grades and such so I could do it. I'd hate to have the opportunity wasted due to being a few points too low on my GPA. So anyway I'm really stressing...studying a lot and whenver I get a test score back or anything I've been beating myself up thinking that it's not good enough. I got an 86 on a psych test the other day, which normally I would be happy about but I am still worried. I'm struggling in my other classes this semester and I can't afford to let my QPA drop. On the upside, my boyfriend got a new job that pays him pretty well and he just bought a new car today, a 2001 black jetta. He's so excited...it's kind of his dream car. I should be happy for him, and I am, but at the same time I'm jealous because I love jettas and I want one so badly. I won't be able to get one though until I'm out of school...and god only knows when that will be. Oh well. Anyway if anyone wants to reply I love to read messages to me. Hope you all are doing alright, and hope you all had a nice valentine's day.
