Dear Journal,

I know I'm having a breakdown. I opened my eyes this morning and I clutched. I've never felt this bad. I can't even get out of bed. All I want to do is go back to sleep. I can't face the day. I'm getting behind in my classes because I can't function and it seems to be getting worse. Dr. Frederick warned me that the pressure of college might be too much for me, but I didn't listen to him. I can't let this control my life but it is. Maybe I'll just take another pill and sleep my day away.

I was in such a state last night after my date that I'm sure I'll never see him again. This "thing" I have is ruining every relationship in my life. Mom and Dad are very worried about me. I keep lying and telling them I'm doing fine, but I know they can see right through my lies. I don't know how much longer I can keep going like this. Sleep, glorious sleep, please come back.
