I’ve lost touch with my ability to write and reflect well. My
mind seems to be in a constant state of confusion and curiosity. Both states
have made it increasingly difficult to focus on what’s in front of me and
remain focused once I get frustrated. I’ve gotten in the habit of resorting to
nonsense articles and internet videos to blotch out my confusion instead of relishing
it and finding solutions. I feel defeated most days at my lack of creativity. I
hope I’m not alone in this sate and perhaps this muddled mind is just a side effect
of pursuing an accelerated graduate education on top of working full time,
completing an internship, and managing a marriage and rot relationship with my
parents.
At this point I feel overwhelmed and dazed. The reliance on
coffee, energy drinks, and fast food doesn’t help given my bodies negative
reaction to the abuse by form of weight gain, breakouts, unnecessary body aches, and anxiety.
I can’t wait for this to be over.
At times I feel incredibly guilty and selfish over my feelings towards the culmination of this degree. I am very conscious of the opportunities I've been granted. It's difficult however to remain appreciative of something that resembles less a privilege and more a mentally and emotionally draining self perpetuating abuse. My words might be dramatic but the sensation and feeling is sincere.
Josue hows it going dude? Hey your post is spot on for me and probably for others, it is creative....you havent lost that ability. As for me I took on more than I could handle and had to drop my research class in order to stay sane. I was sleeping just 4 hours a night and was nearing collapse...the body and brain can only take so much before they say..no mas! I was resorting to binge eating and doses of ginko biloba pills to compensate for my diminished ability to concentrate on basic stuff. It was the best move for me even though it will delay my completion date for this program until the 2nd summer session 2015. Stay strong my friend..I don't always share personal details but when I do it makes me feel better. Kinda sounds like the beer guy,"I dont always drink beer but when I do...

ReplyDeleteHang in there my friend, verily with hardship comes ease. You will make it, and when you do, you will look back and say: I lived and I conquered :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, but I managed to avoid fast foods and energy drinks. Stick with it and don't give up. You can do it!
