Tonight we are bringing B to college and I am experiencing a wide range of emotions as a result. I am thrilled that my son is going to a good college that has a strong focus on the humanities, but also sad that he will not be living with us anymore. However, I am mostly worried and anxious that I will not be able to maintain the monthly tuition payments. My cognitive abilities and motivation has been slipping and it has been difficult to focus at work. I am definitely feeling somewhat depressed, but I have to mask my emotions and get the job done.
I have to learn how to relax more and not let anxiety impede me from achieving my goals.

I have many more years left before I will experience sending a kid off to university, but I did send my baby off to be with my parents for the summer, and it was really difficult. But now you have holidays and other weekends to look forward to having whenever he comes home from the dorms.
Keep plowing away, D. You will make it.
