Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard

I have a presentation to write.
It's already after 8pm.
14 hours then I have to speak for one.
I'm so scared I'm numb. I'm unprepared. I've spent the last 5 hours staring at it.
Thinking about food instead. Mindlessly counting. Planning and recounting.
Thinking about cutting. Hating myself. General numbness.
I'm not highly anxious. This confuses me more.
I just want it to be the weekend.
I still have an essay to write.
But come Friday, I should have handed that it.
Then it will be the weekend. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to sleep.
I'm tired. Exhausted. Numb.
Who calls their child Edward Evan when their surname is Evans-Pritchard?
Cruel.
1 day, 18 hours, 42 minutes.
That's all I have to make it through.
All I want to do is throw in the towel.
I hate being around people because I always eat. I hate myself for hating being around people. I don't want to push people away again. I'm so confused. I hope it's just deadline stress. But I can't tell. Maybe it's the drugs. Maybe that's why I'm just numb. I don't know. I just don't know.

I must remember that all is not lost.
