JD,
I see so much greatness in you!
First, you’re reaching out to a group of supportive people.
Secondly, an academic institution has agreed to include you in their program at a post-graduate level.
Third, your health allows you to perform something at an advanced fitness level.
Fourth, your depression does pass and you don’t always feel bad.
There are some high energy forum men, slightly older than you, on this forum like Canadian Guy & Wrestler, who are similar to you in that they are struggling, if you watch them persevere and get a jolt of encouragement, along with the CBT program, when you can squeeze that in.
Your mind and body are preparing for a productive fall academic trial, so don’t sweat the single days you crash, since you’ve prepared all your life for the masters program.
Not only are we behind you, but there and young men and women overseas fighting for our liberty and choices and safety. Those service men and women want you to fulfill your career too, since they have chosen a different road.
