I’ve been taking medication consistently and actually getting on top of things for the first time in a long time, despite having the heaviest academic load I’ve had in the same amount of time. It feels good to have motivation and not be scrambling to do things at the last minute, but the sacrifice is having absolutely no time for anything social.

I’m watching my bf and friends go out and do things, while I’m studying for tests, finishing projects, or working on grad school applications. If I spend a few hours doing something fun, it feels like I struggle for much longer to get caught up again the next week.

I feel most guilty when I don’t have enough time to spend with my family. Is the rest of my life going to be like this?
