Followed my meal plan all day; b/ped three times tonight. Seems about normal to me, which is kind of sad. I actually tried to follow supper and night snack as normal, but it was all surrounded with the b/ping, so I know I did not keep in the totality of either meal or snack. However, it's quite possible that I kept in extra cals from the binges, so to me it kind of evens out. Or something.

Haven't heard from clinic yet. Dropped off my psychology evals to them on Wednesday, since I decided to do them a few nights before that, but I was only there for about three seconds. I'm starting to get slightly anxious about the lack of communication. I just thought I'd've heard from them by now. Evidently not.

I am attempting to put myself back on a more normal sleep schedule. I had been getting up at about 12 or 1 every day and going to bed at 2 or 3... which, yes, also means I've been sleeping far too much. However, this sleep pattern has meant I've gotten very little time in during daylight hours, and also that my later hours are spent not being able to go anywhere or do anything, since nothing's really open after 10 or 11. When I used to go to bed by 11 or 12, and get up at more like 9 or 10 every day, I think I did feel better generally... more alive, more in tune with the world, what have you. So I started getting up earlier yesterday, which is the only day I am usually required to be up early. However, I actually had an appointment with a career counsellor from income support this morning, and I have an appointment with my social worker tomorrow morning, and I'm going out for coffee with my mom on Saturday morning. I think the universe is trying to tell me something, somehow. :P

Speaking of career counselling... there is a possibility I may be able to get funding to do some courses at university! The program I'm doing, which is supposed to help young people go back to the work force or to school, has funding until October, so I may be able to do a course over the summer and then do a full course load in September, provided I feel ready for both those steps. I definitely think I could handle at least a course over the summer. I really want to do a full-time courseload in September, but we'll have to see how I feel about it when it comes time. Then again, I'm not sure how easily I could pass up the opportunity to do something productive AND have it funded. I really really hope I am feeling in a place to handle it by then. Doing so would also mean I'd get to keep my parents' awesome insurance for the final year I'm eligible (I'm only covered until I'm 25, and only as an adult if I'm in school full time). So here's hoping I am up for it.
