Hi guys. I hope everyone is having a good day. I just needed to vent. Woke up with alot of pain today, went and did my student teaching from 8-1130, went to class at 1230 and by then, I could barely sit for more than 10 minutes without alot of pain. I decided that I coukln't sit through my final class, so I didn't go. I feel like such a loser. I'm only 22, and just starting this long road of pain. I know when I tell my mom I didn't go to one of my classes today she is just going to roll her eyes. she just doesn't get it. anyway, thats all for now. have a good rest of the day.

Kris, you are not a loser. I admire you for continuing on with your life even though you are in pain.I started my masters about the same time I started PM. I remember trying to sit through the classes and being in so much pain. I finished 2 classes and am now just going back. You are doing the best you can.

No matter what stage of life we are in and what we are doing, we all can hurt. And unfortunately their will always be people who will not understand.

Look at it this way, if you were playing baseball your batting average today would be over 800 - not bad... hang in there, you'll make it!

Discuss with your teachers you have health issues so you don't fail out for lack of attendance. Many colleges and universities have programs to assist you including have someone monitor the class for you when you cannot go.

Hey, your doing good, if you know your all right with your course work, dont' worry about it. It is hard to go to school and have chronic pain. I know, I did it too.

You are definitely not a loser. Some of my best days were when I was working full time, going to school, being mother to 4 kids in 4 different schools, and taking care of a dog, a cat, lots of fish, and 4 frogs.

My favorite thing to do now, is when my husband has the flu, I go into the bedroom with the cheeriest voice I can muster, and ask him to take me out to dinner and a movie. When he complains of the pain, and gets totally irritated with me, I remind him that this is what he does on my worst days. He's one of those people who really doesn't believe I'm in THAT MUCH pain. I think you should try that with your mother and see if she gets it. Hope you feel better.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
