raise your hand if you saw this coming

i sent an e-mail to the student counselling service tonight, which cmshaw and i agree will probably result in their recommending that i go ahead and come in for at least an initial appointment.

I'M FINE.  i promise.  but i wasn't, earlier this evening, and if any of you were in the shape i was in (and had taken whole weeks to get there), i'd be all over your ass to call someone about it, so this is me putting my money where my mouth is.  ... or something like that.

anyway.  i was crazy down-in-the-dumps girl, and a mysterious crying jag later, i felt immeasurably better -- but have contacted the counselly people anyway.  i should hear back from them tomorrow.

and now i go to bed.

Well, I'm impressed--making an appointment is so often the most difficult-seeming thing in the world, when you're feeling down. Go you!!

Here's a great big warm safe {{{hug}}} for you! And I am very proud of you for sending that email. Keep us posted, okay?

Oh, sweety, I didn't have a clue, and I feel bad that rather than giving you encouragement, I've been snarking over my personal dramedy. I am QUITE glad you're getting with the student counselling service. ***HUGS*** to you, dear girl.

And mysterious crying jags can really do a body some good, sometimes.

{{hugs}} Good for you.

They (comments above) all said what I meant to say as well, Mearagrrl especially. Sticking to the appointment will likely make you feel even better than crying alone would. *hugs, even if you are feeling better*

1.) *really big hugs*
2.) I'm so glad you're feeling better.
3.) Go you for contacting the counselly people! And I know I don't have to tell you this, because you are Takes No Crap From Anyone Woman, but if whoever they send you to isn't who you need to be talking to (for whatever reason), demand to see someone else, until you find someone you can deal with.
4.) *more big hugs*

Yep, well done. Hope the appointment goes well. Let me know if you want to go for coffee or anything.

Hugs to you.

And yeah making the appointment is the hardest part, after that it's just following what's comfortable.

Yay you for getting help when you need it!

*hugs*

Look after yourself, it's always better to talk to someone about these things. *Hugs*.
