After an unfortunate incident which I won’t get into here, I went through a rough time and an episode of depression for almost 3 months.
I had to delay my Comprehensive exam for my PhD and lost all motivation to get back to it. I even considered quitting my program of study and moving on to something else. It all seemed so meaningless, and the prospect of picking up not where I left off, but where I had started was daunting.
Today, almost 3 months later, I found the motivation to pick up my files and go through them, in the hope that reorganizing all my reading materials would somehow ease me back into the reading….and it worked!
I read a couple of texts and part of an article this afternoon, and I’m very proud of myself. I’m not bragging, just happy because it feels like I’m starting to get over this bump that sent me off track.

Goal for tomorrow: do at least 2 hours of work – I have to leave some time to spend with my sweetheart with whom I didn’t interact much today because I was so excited about managing to get back to work that I kept at it until 7 pm!
