I can't do this. I don't know how to do this. I haven't learned this, and I've no time to figure it out. I'm in over my head, and out of my league. I shouldn't be here.

I'm going to be sick...

[Update 01:58am]: I started getting somewhere in the Ada program. My problems there had been pointer-related, but Ada's a much more beautiful language than C, which here means she gave me meaningful-enough error messages that I could Google what I was doing wrong. I'm not *sure* that I'm doing things right, but it compiles, and Ada won't compile unless she's happy. C still sucks. But I think I may go to bed.

tomorrow is always fresh and new without any mistakes in it.

darling, you should try to get some sleep. you've got that "i'm drowning" feeling right now and that, take my word, is never the time to try getting anything done.

breathe, try to relax, listen to a song or two to wind down... and please try to get some sleep. resolve to make things work tomorrow, when i am sure you will feel better (even slightly is better than nothing).

::hugs:: you'll be okay. you can do this. things are stressful right now and rightfully so. but don't lose hope or give up. besides all the other reasons one could name as to why it would be a bad idea... the most important one is that that is not who you are.

you're andrew, you're brilliant, and given some sleep and the fresh light of a new day... i know you can figure this out.

hang in there, darling.

I love you, Melissa.
-smiles-

I did get some things done, though. in addition to getting some of that Ada stuff going, I just finished pecking my way through the YACC program I 'finished' today -- and a good thing, too, as it was buggy as hell. C still sucks. -smiles-

And I might dispute the fact that I'm 'brilliant,' but you're right that I'm really not one to give up, and that I do need sleep. I'm even considering going to class tomorrow (it's nearly 3am now; the chances are slim).

But thank you. You've been more help than you could know.

Sometimes people need to take a break, from everything.
It's nearly impossible to accomplish anything when you're in the state of mind of "I can't do this", or something equally as self defeating.
Take a long hot shower, turn off your cellphone (if applicable), take a long nap, read a story that you've always liked, have a walk, go to a gym etc etc.. When you get back you'll feel 'fresh' to do anything. (Shower then nap works wonders for me :) )
You're not a machine hun, we're all human.. as much as people like to think we are not.
