Hey! Read your earlier post - I'm sorry that you're going through this. I tend to do this in winter too - feel like nature's death is grabbing me and holding me in its icy grip. I'm in grad school too, and the pressure really gets to me. I've hit burn out big time in the past week. Tonight's the first time in 2 weeks I'm giving myself a guilt-free night off! Between classes and teaching and then part-time work (and QAF fanning and the gym!) I seriously need to find a nice Caribbean beach.
I don't know if this will help, but I always tell myself when I hit these patches, that everything changes. The best and worst fact of life. And spring is coming. Either that, or I'm gonna hop a jet to Aruba and abdicate all responsibility (yeah! I wish!).
Yeah, grad school has been getting me down, lately, and I'm in my first year, so I feel out of my depth all the time.
The real problem is that I don't like big groups of people, so I don't socialize much, so I don't really have good friends (yet, of course), and I feel very isolated sometimes.
And then I get irritated, because it's my own damn fault.
*sigh* Spring will make it better, because my default setting will no longer be 'melancholy and introspective'.

Thanks for the comment and the commiseration.
