<p>What do you mean? Summer depression? Like want to go back to school? lol.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure what you mean either, but I am pretty happy that it’s summer. I hang out with my friends a lot now and get to relax a little bit more than during school. The reason why I am nervous to go back to school is this is it, senior year, college decisions! I am nervous I won’t get into the college of my choice. So, I don’t have “summer depression” but instead of I have “college application anxiety”.</p>
<p>I want to go back to school myself. I am bored of summer. I have too much homework I am procrastinating on, etc. =P</p>
<p>I think that’s the thing. I’m going out nearly every single day and it’s not very mentally challenging, well I don’t have to use my brain at all. It gives me time to think about other things besides Chemistry and Math. Which is probably the bad thing, usually my thoughts during the entire school year would be clouded with Math, Chem, English, finishing homework, projects, and whatever I have to do. I guess I miss school but its more than that. School is actually very helpful to me, it keeps my mind from wandering. When my mind wanders it usually keeps me from sleeping. Which is probably the one thing that actually “triggers” the feeling of depression. I sometimes have an entire 24 hour period to consciously think about things and that keeps me awake.</p>
<p>I’m too sleepy to structure my paragraph or re-read all the non-sense I just typed. I guess I just miss school ! I never saw this coming, ever in my life.</p>
<p>Ah I can see what you’re talking about. I don’t disagree with you, at school, I do get into a routine that is sometimes hard to break during the summer. But, you only have like a little bit more than a month left. My school starts on September 14th, pretty late. Most public schools in my area start like late August.</p>
<p>Hahaha… well damn, I always miss school in the summer. Like you, I too miss the challenge of school, as well as having a really neat schdedule, so I can just get into a habit of sorts. Wake up, go to school, sports, go home, do homework then sleep and repeat. Lol…
Anyway, I always have trouble sleeping. The constant churn of thoughts keeps me from sleeping. I worry about everything! My mind will look at something for hours before I am able to tell it to shut up, and it listens (or I count sheep). Hmm… take sleep aids? Or count sheep? Read a really interesting book that engages your mind…</p>
<p>Yeah, this has never happened to me before. Its very odd, I usually love the fact that I don’t have to use my brain but it’s different this time. I haven’t been studying much because of the whole depression thing. Its just ALL BAD. :(</p>
