> Unfortunately, I have a sociology independent study course I'm doing that requires some attention, as does prepping for the GRE, but those both seem too overwhelming right now.
I just took my GRE a couple of weeks ago. Huge relief to be done with! I was very stressed out about it for several months. Now I'm annoyed though because I should have gotten my official scores last week (including the writing scores) and I didn't. Maybe I'll get them today...
> But don't be too hard on yourself about the book you're struggling through right now. Even if it's not deep reading, it may just be what you don't need to be dealing with at the moment. Some escapism will probably do you good!
The problem is, it isn't just this book. It's like every book I've tried to read in the past 6 months! I just can't get into them. Except I did read a couple David Sedaris books in March.
So about your friend... I know just how you feel. Well, I think. My best friend and I also have a lot of issues. We've really had a lot of ups and downs over the past 5 years. She has been very demanding, too much for me at times, and seems to have too high of expectations that I just can't live up to. There have been times that I thought I was going to lose her because things just didn't seem able to be resolved. But anyway, now things are going pretty well and we're both working on our own issues, which hopefully will improve the relationship. But we don't see each other that much. She lives in NY.
I wanted to ask you if you've ever thought of DBT? I am in it now, and honestly I really hate it. But I am trying to stay with it because I think that it has the potential to really help me.
