That’s hard. You put yourself in that place for reasons, and it can be hard to let go of them even when it isn’t working for you. If it were all toxic it would be easier, but it never is, and you can hold onto what’s good about the situation for a long time. It’s also easy to stick with something familiar, even if it’s terrible. All of that is totally normal. Take care of yourself, and don’t beat yourself up for taking a while to make a decision.

A couple thoughts. Crunch time is stressful, but it does signal that the semester is almost over. Mix it up a little: work on something else for a bit and then go back to the crisis, it sometimes lowers the emotional temperature. Try and keep yourself fed and watered, and get enough sleep. Hold on. You’re going to make it.

It’s worth making the effort – I think you may ultimately find it very freeing.

I’m a big fan of Gone Home.

When they get pressure from the trustees to do it. Which will come from pressure from students and alumni.

Wishing you strength. And soon it will be DONE!
