I guess I finally got caught up on my sleep because I went to bed early on Friday and didn't get up until 5pm on Saturday.  Then I went back to sleep at 11pm and woke up this morning at 11am.  I feel a little bit better but still stressed out.  I am haveing to do a power point presentation for my Government about family violence and any time I get started on it I can only work on it for about 10 minutes before I break down into tears.  I could change the topic but I feel like this is a good way for me to work through some of the pain, and it would also help with public awairness.  You would be suprized how many people don't know what it is, how to deal with it, what signs to look for in other people, or where to go if you need help.  I realize that I was one of the lucky ones and I am not looking for sympathy, I want others to know how to help people like me and if they are like me how to gain the courage to ask for help and leave there abuser.  I don't know maybe I am just crazy thinking that anyone in college cares about a topic like this when they have never been through it.
