A major part of american mythology is (or at least was when I was growing up) the idea that High School is 'the Best Years of your Life." I personally think this is one of the cruelest lies in our society. Possibly it's a holdover from the old days when leaving school meant you got to spend the rest of your life on a farm doing backbreaking labor, or working on a basically deadend job?Hmm.. You seem to have a lot of things you want to do, or know you need to do, but can't find the time. Please understand that I'm observing from a distance (and through a distorting medium) but have you considered that you might have depression and/or ADD? You might want to find a source of professional help. If you do have emotional problems it is NOT something you can will power through. I recently spent a year unemployed and sitting on my couch trying to work up the willpower to search for work. Eventually I realized it wasn't going to work and sought help. It took a couple of weeks to find the right mix of medication (as it turns out I had ADD as well as depression and they interact oddly) but once we did, I has a job 2 days later. Oh, and as a side note, running for 30 min three times a week is as effective as medication for social anxiety, it just takes longer to kick in (8 weeks vs 2 weeks.) So if you can will yourself to exercise you might find it help in other areas as well.</blockquote>
