Crazy. Been living where I am for almost 4 years and I've been told I may get deported because my current company made a mistake on my contract. I hate it here but it's better than where I'm from in many ways, and I was trying to get citizenship so I could move somewhere else. If they deport me I don't really know what I'm going to do or where my life will be headed.

My friends who play games with me were busy all weekend, so I spent the weekend alone feeling really isolated and sad. It's almost 6am and I haven't slept.

I go home for a month next week and the one reason I planned to go back this year fell through, I have no plans, my accommodation for the trip has been fucked up and now I have deportation looming over me. I would cancel the trip if not for the fact that it was €1000 for the ticket.

I'm so sick of the constant shit. I had surgery planned in Nov but I'll probably end up canceling it.

I a positive note, the recent depression treatment seems to have helped a bit.
