Welcome to Neuro Talk. You will never be alone here. Lots of people around to say hello to. I am sorry for your condition. Real friends will not pull away from you just because you are sick. do you need them anyway, if there is no compassion in them?. Go ahead and get to know a few people and take a chance. There really are some nice people out there.
Great about your education. Keep on trucking! I may be alot older, but I do know the value of talking to some friendly ears. Don't be alone, you can talk to me any time. I am female, and artist (can't help myself) and I have several unpleasant conditions. I love Neuro Talk, Came here myself, pretty much scared out of my wits and never left. Found some great friends, that helped me through alot of tough situations.
Let me know more about what you are doing in classes. Love the field you chose. Anything you would care to share, I am here to listen to. Have a good day, I care. ginnie
