you are NOT pathetic - you're grieving and it's hard to let go. Let yourself write, make art, talk, cry...whatever makes it just a little bit easier....but wait..you've got homework? hhhmmm, I hope it doesn't suck too much- maybe it's interesting? I don't know.
As far as the work uncomfortability since I'm not you I can only say how I handle it - it's been an issue for me lately - I'm pretty sure people are mad at me too and they think I'm stupid. It's really been sending me into "tizzies" as I call them - I'm not rational, totally uncomfortable, anxious, angry -a real crazy fest! I can only say that I've been a bit more successful as of late with distracting myself. I keep thinking..."they're not out to get you...they're not out to get you...they're not out to get you" - how's that for a mantra? hee hee... Whatever they do or do not think about you - other people are bound to become fixated once again on their own crap so I find it best to remove myself from the situation mentally. Sometimes when I'm really having a hard time with being preoccupied with how other people think of me I find something in terms of work tasks to really focus on, and/or I daydream about where I'd like to go or do that would be nice and also possible.
....but it's not much in the face of a serious depression and/or anxiety of course. I hope you're taking some decent care of yourself. You're NOT pathetic deary, you do need some time though I think. :-)
