Where am I?

[LiaSmiles]

I got into my top graduate school.

I don't know why, I don't feel as excited as I expected. Nothing feels right.

I don't feel like me anymore.

Hello LiaSmiles, congratulations on the graduate school. Sometimes even the best news feels like an anti-climax but it is really good news. Maybe it will take a little while to sink in for you and possibly there is a little apprehension about the changes it involves. Please keep posting.

Ya you're probably right. Maybe I'll feel better about it in a little bit. Fingers crossed.

Fabulous news! When low, I don't think we feel the 'happy us'. Try and remember how you felt when you were excited and remind yourself that you won't always be low. I don't know if it works for everyone, but 'Behavioural Activation' is a good thing to try. Pick something you used to like doing, then do it. Even if you absolutely feel like there is no way that you will do it (say you liked swimming), then just do it once a week anyway. Most people feel better afterwards and can lift their mood over time :0)
