Hey Caden,
Well I guess hyper is better then anxious or depressed or it is really? I am not quite sure lol. The hyper feeling gets to be a bit much too. Ah well, let's just take it one day at a time and try to find balance within ach of those days! Btw, I feel much calmer today. I have come down from the hyper and did not crash into low and depressed so am pleased with myself lol. Up to now am having a nice calm, relaxing, non hyper day :)
As for pats on the back I am glad you felt them :) They are so well deserve, I am very impressed! As for rewarding yourself you deserve that too so spoil yourself a little you have done tons of great things and have racked up so many successes! Focus on that, hun
You are too hard on yourself! Be kind to yourself

If it was me going back to school and doing all you do, would you hit me over the head for the things I have not done yet or would you congratulate me for the things I have done, tried or succeeded at? I think you would give me a great big pat on the back! So give yourself a pat! You deserve it! Go on, you might like it!

Btw, I think it is great you rewarding yourself with a great pair of earring. I love earrings! And hey, graduation from first semester deserve at least a pair of earrings! And you are right, it is never too late to start!
And thanks, yes I do feel more balanced today, and you?
