Mood Falling

The thing about breaks is that my mood always stabilizes during them because I just forget that there are other things in life other than the nice things.  I lock myself with my tools and draw and animate and write and sing.  I go out with friends.  I forget.

And every time someone mentions school, I push it out of my thoughts.  I keep it out, because I know just thinking about it will drag me back down.  But eventually, I have to remember.  I have to go back.   And then my mood just plummets again.

And I'm not sure what to do.  I'm having a difficult time understanding what it is that I'm dreading.  Is it the inevitability of unwanted human interaction?  Is it the knowledge that I have already been failing and that I'll be returning to a wreck of a ship and watching all the others push forward on their journeys?  Or am I simply being so lazy that I drag myself down into depression without a legitimate purpose? (I doubt that last one.)

On another note, I hate how, when my mood has fallen, everything seems to hurt so much.  Every bit that I am normally somewhat decent about, everything that I try to look at the bright side of, I can't.

Normally, I'm okay with seeing my friends do things without me.  I don't really belong in any group, so I just sit at the edge and help out if I can.  When they collab on fanfics together, I proofread and give advice.  When they draw OCs being couples together, and form little OC roleplaying groups, I comment on the character design and the art and I might draw some fanart.  When they go out, I'll take the pictures they post on Facebook and play around with photoshop.  I do my best to try including myself to whatever extent they'll let me.

Right now, though, I feel so shitty, knowing that school is starting tomorrow and my friends have gone to place together and made OC groups and pairings during break, and I have sat in a room. By myself.  There's so much resentment, and it's so painful.  I don't want to feel this way towards them.  They don't deserve it.  I'm just being dumb.
