On day 9 now, and it's been up and down ride so far, mostly down. Found out I barely passed my mid-terms, scores of 50-55%, but a pass is a pass and they don't put your grades on your degree right? But generally the past nine days have consisted of periods of intense anxiety and panic, punctuated with some depression.
The fog of the intial few days has lessened somewhat, and I feel I'm actually starting to engage people more, instead of staring at them blankly, unable to comprehend what they said fast enough to have a meaningful conversation.
Generally procastination has been paralyzing, which only seems to deepen my anxiety. Had really dark dreams last night, as well. Having said all that, I have zero desire to drink and no cravings. It's a strange place to be in.
