			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Let me get down to the point: I have a feeling something is wrong with me.<span id="more-192"></span></p>
<p>&#8230;well, other than the usual.</p>
<p>I have what I deem to be a veritable mountain of evidence to back it up, too:</p>
<p><strong>I can&#8217;t eat.</strong> If you know me, you know that I like eating. It may not be apparent, and yes, I eat slowly, but nonetheless, I enjoy food. Not the case recently, though. More and more often I find myself with no appetite, and I end up eating only because I know I have to, not because I want to. Not just that, it seems that when I do get hungry, I eat less food than I usually do.</p>
<p><strong>Sleeping&#8217;s screwed.</strong> So I need way more sleep than most other people I know. Big deal. The problem is, despite that I still can&#8217;t bring myself to go to bed, even when there&#8217;s nothing stopping me. Then I end up taking naps that last for hours when I get home from school, and&#8211;well, basically my sleep certainly hasn&#8217;t gotten any better.</p>
<p><strong>Depression set in.</strong> You know how sometimes, you don&#8217;t really feel like doing anything, or talking to anyone? Or how a wave of low self-esteem suddenly comes on? Or how you just wish life didn&#8217;t suck? Yeah, it&#8217;s hit me pretty hard this week. Usually I&#8217;m against this sort of thing, and I&#8217;m generally happy (or at least I think I am), but that hasn&#8217;t been the case these days. It&#8217;s more of &#8220;stare-off-into-the-distance-and-occasionally-sigh-sadly&#8221;. Sigh.</p>
<p>All of the aforementioned has combined to add something more than irritation to whatever it is that&#8217;s going on with me. I&#8217;m pissed at what&#8217;s happening to me, since it&#8217;s sorta messing with my life, but what&#8217;s worse is that <em>I have a feeling I know why this is happening.</em> I&#8217;ll repeat that for emphasis: I think I know why things have suddenly become so out of control.</p>
<p>Which sucks, because the conclusion I&#8217;ve arrived at is hell to deal with.</p>
<p>Damn it. Damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it DAMN IT.</p>
<p>Yes, I know this is quite incoherent. Allow me this little act of selfishness to try and get a grip.</p>
<p>P.S: If you want to know the reason for my current state of fail, here&#8217;s a word to start you off: confusion.</p>
