Real life should leave me alone

I'm disappointed in myself for not getting my license yet. I was determined to have it before my birthday, and now that's not going to happen. *sigh* Plus I've been under a lot of stress at work because one of the managers and the new office girl are both looking for excuses to get me in trouble. Add to that my financial situation, and the fact that I need to find some professional assistance in treating my condition. I've been at home all day today, which always gets me thinking too much and criticizing myself, so all these things have been bearing down on my mind today. I refuse to let myself slip down though, because I need to stay focused on improving the situation. While I suppose the healthiness of it is debatable, I've managed to keep myself from getting down by reminding myself that things have been going very well with Cathi and I, which makes me happy. I wish I could stop taking life so seriously. I really need to spend more time doing more physical things, to help me be less caught up in my thoughts. That and I need to get back into school and start taking more creative classes, like art or drama. I think that would help me a lot, and I really want to learn more ways of expressing my creativity.
