I know exactly where you're at. Like, literally every thing there is something I have felt (except this happened to me during my undergrad and not grad school, and during the middle of a quarter and not at the beginning). Basically I just stopped doing any work or going to any classes at all, and instead I just laid in my bed all day staring at my wall or at the snow falling outside the window. What got me out of was an e-mail from my adviser to make sure that I was still alive. I went in and talked to her expecting to get yelled at and just said what was going on and she was very understanding (while at the same time giving me a kick in the rear end to get me in gear again) and everything worked out in the end.

So, uh, yeah. Just talk to someone and tell them where you're at and be honest. It's not like it's going to be that much worse than what they think of your inaction, and at least you won't have to deal with the tension and the fear and avoiding every single e-mail and phone call in the hopes that you can pretend the problems don't exist if you ignore them. And it honestly - honestly - felt so much better, to get that shit off my chest and out of my head and just to not have to deal with that tension anymore.

You can do this, anon. You don't have to live like this. You can make it better.

Thanks :) I cannot tell you how good it feels to know someone understands!!! It's not that all my friends are perfect, but none of them have quite the capacity for self destruction I do.... I think I kind of baffle them.

I had a really similar experience in undergrad, and it's humiliating that after how far I've come I'm back to the same shit. Except this time, instead of answering the email I just ignored it (smart!). I know the trick is just getting out of my bed in the morning!!! I can do iiit!!!
