Apparently the third Monday in January is the most depressing day of the year, so hence today is known as 'Blue Monday'
Certainly, if you look at the news, it's the usual round of doom and gloom. But then I look out the window, and its a gorgeous sunny winter's day, and I think of the fantastic 3 days I've just had biking and hiking, and the chap I've met who makes my heart sing a little 
It's been in many ways a tough start to the year with the death of a friend along with family and work stresses. But one thing that my friend's death has re-inforced for me it to value today. So I'm reversing the concept of 'Blue Monday' and declaring it a 'Happy Day' instead.
So how about you? Is this third Monday in January Happy or Blue?
Really sorry to hear that things are difficult. If you want to talk off the forum, let me know. But remember that your gf might be confused about any number of things - trying to balance work / study with a relationship; challenges related to sexuality in a predominantly straight world etc, rather than being confused about you. I know it's probably impossible, but maybe try and just give her some space and take some time for yourself. Take care, and keep posting if you want to let some of the stress or emotion out x
