taking on too much or slacking

[MVgirl]

hey fishies
So i have not had the best week. One thing I have noticed is that my grief has become physical, aches pains, and a times I break out in a clammy cold sweat. This is anxiety relted but I take something for that. Its a normal response Im told, but it sure isnt for me.

I keep hearing about young adults who channel thier grief into being productive, as in doing really well in school or a job. But i am finding myself the opposite. right now, its an achievement to me if i get my work done in my two classes and if I get to my independent studies WOW. But lately, it hasnt been that easy to exert myself at school. I just wanna do the minimum and then try and comfort myself, be it sitting outside or doing something fun. That is how I get through my days...

I am meeting with my advisor tomorrow, who has been so suportive, but I think I am going to bow out of my independent studies...i dunno...how did you all know when you were asking too much of yourselves?
thanks, thinking of you all

I think the adults who channel their grief into something productive are the exception. I think for most people, grief is very ahrd to deal with and takes time and energy to deal.

"how did you all know when you were asking too much of yourselves?"

I wish I could answer that, but it's not something I'm good at. The fact that you are asking the question is probably a sign
