coming back full circle

I was reading through my old journal and I found this:

I didn't know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I'd cry for a week. I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full. ~Sylvia Plath,The Bell Jar

Update!
I did get a haircut after all. I gathered my courage and opted for the straight cut bangs, but it's pretty much all grown out now. It was also difficult to maintain and made me look very young. It is almost due time for another haircut, but I don't know what to do this time. Maybe I will save it until December.

I've been reading constantly on depression and I've learned so many new things about it that I've never even heard of before. This is surprising to me since I've been studying psychology for 5 years and yet it still has new and exciting things to teach me. I guess grad school is kinda great in that respect.

I've realized that there has been a paradigm shift in research on the neurobiology of depression. I really didn't prescribe to the whole "chemical imbalance" theories and the idea of treating people with a happy pill. Turns out it's much more complicated than that :P
