My MD has acted up recently, so decided to post.
Quick recap: My MD got better when I went home for quarantine. I'd missed my family and it was nice to have a few less responsibilities.
Unfortunately, I haven't had much to do besides daydream and stress has gotten to me. I have to apply to a new school now ); the last is too far from home if I need to get home quickly (again). This has been really stressful, and going through finals hasn't helped. I very much hate reaching out to people and asking for recommendations. Pretty much the entire application process sucks, and I thought I would be done with this for another few years. Anyway, I am almost done. I finished my last final today, and have gotten most of my application out of the way.
My MD has been bad recently. I usually wake up and DD a few hours before getting out of bed--yikes. If I spend too long DDing I end up feeling depressed and unmotivated the rest of the day. This leads to more DDing and more stress and more sleeping. You are all probably familiar with the cycle of self destruction. It's just great! *extreme sarcasm*
I have started reading more, which has helped a bit with my MD. Having something besides DDing to look forward to always helps. I've even started blogging about books to make sure I am doing it regularly in the future. Plus, blogging helps me do something productive that I actually enjoy. Sometimes this makes homework/application stuff more manageable, and sometimes I just avoid work by working on my blog.... Either way, I'm happier because of it!
I'm mostly posting because I'm tired of MD getting in the way of school work. The more work I get, the more I MD. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, the
funk. If I MD in the morning too long I am just ALL DAY. It's the worst and I am 
how to get rid of it? Sometimes I don't even MD too long. I just wake up on a bad day or have to go to something I'm not looking forward to. In the past, the only way to get rid of this has been sleeping it off, but that's not always possible and naps aren't always the solution.
Last thing: on the "bad days" I have a lot of trouble staying focused on conversations--even ones I enjoy and want to be a part of. Any advice?
