I've solved the problem of this being way too floppy to hang - added an extra backing, with stiff interfacing ironed to it. A decision I regretted instantly once I decided to add some hand quilting! It completely changes the hand of the fabric, making it stiff and horrible to quilt. Still, the quilting process is finite, and then it will hang properly!
A few evenings more and it will be done.
My college room has a beautiful picture window, with a view second to none. I'm not exaggerating, when I say it delights me every single day. Whatever my mood, nature speaks to me, and it's directly outside!
Here are a few seasonal pictures:

I have to go back in a year, to see "which way it is going" - (very euphemistic - it can get better??) I suppose it could stay the same. He called it 'modest' - what is modest even, to someone who works with people who need hearing aids? He said, at this level, I'd typically be having difficulty in gatherings. And yes, it is in classes...
At the same time, the fog in my head, was causing me to fall behind. I'd have notes, I had no memory of having been through. I felt stuck, I had nowhere to turn, no-one to speak to. After a lot of crying, I decided to take matters into my own hands, and decreased the medication, to where it was before. And the fog cleared!
And I feel so much better. Maybe some depression will return, but I'll deal with that, if it comes.
