I feel like I'm not posting enough, but on the other hand I feel like there's nothing to say.

Maybe I should be truthful:
1) I'm not making it to lectures about half of all mornings, instead sitting in my room and spodding mindlessly because I don't have the mental energy to do anything else.
2) I haven't got a project sorted out, although I have now managed to extract a meeting from my DoS, 2pm tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to salvage something (and spend all Thursday afternoon writing up a proposal).
3) My room is a complete pit, in which I have lost my engagement ring, a front door key to Oblivion and Nicholas' gloves, and I haven't washed my hair for rather too long.

Other than that I have been going through the motions of living, especially making up characters for and attending role-playing games, because then I can pretend that I'm someone else and don't have all of this doom hanging over me.

I can't help but feel that I am on the wrong course, but I'm not sure any other course would really be any better at this level; I want to Have Things To Do and to Do Things, but it appears that I can't do that without working 9 till 5, and we all saw how well I coped with that over the summer (hint: not very - I could survive but only if I did nothing in the evenings and basically became a working automaton).

I keep coming up with plans to make things better and then sabotaging them so I can spend more time basically sitting and staring at the wall.

I think I am mostly a burden to my friends.

Surely the fact that they're friends means you can get away with being a burden if needs be. Though you think you're sabotaging your plans, at least you're making them in the first place. There's hope amongst it all. Your time role-playing and spodding surely can't be as purely escapist as you imply - otherwise recognising that it was would rather undo its effectiveness.

Incidentally, I find that one can generally get away with failing to wash one's hair if a big enough hat can be worn.
