Thank you all, I'm very thankful. Ive been very depressed today, I have had two attacks already. And they were not weak, thank the Divines I wasn't driving this morning, as i probably would have crashed into oncoming traffic had I been. And I know suicide isnt the answer but... well haha this is the one place i dont have to explain pain in great detail. its nice having people who understand

Im sorry your depressed today. No Hunter no judgement in here --u sound smart and Im glad you joined even if its for support--- have you looked on TN thread yet? --Maybe other can give you some ideas that are suffering with the same disease as you. They also have one for depression. I hope your pain gets better as day goes on and dont worry about the kids in your school. Like i said there clueless. I dont know why sometimes life hands us bad stuff ---but you will find out quickly you will become a much stronger person for it. I hope your day gets better for you today

Clueless is an understatement for my classmates. And thank you, I take pride in my intellect. And thank you, I have only had one more attack since this morning, so I guess thats not that bad... I also want to thank everyone for not bringing religion into this as I am atheist and I find it a little irritating when people say god is there for me. Because if I were to believe, then he'd be the cause of these problems as well. Something Id never be able to forgive. So I just wanted to say thanks and I will be looking around this website for direction quite a bit so I hope to hear from you all again, if you talk to me again on another thread, let me know you've talked to me before

Im always here if you need a friend and trust me I understand pain ---

Is the doctor who diagnosed you treating you? Is he or she a neurologist? Make sure you are getting the right medical treatment and being taken seriously (make sure the doctor knows how bad it gets).

how are you doing today? I hope that your doing better you are in my thoughts

My main doc (neuro) will be back in a week and is very helpful and unfortunately I had 7 attacks last night and only a couple hours sleep... and am very depressed today. Hysterical crying. I'm trying to get my mom to take me out of school so I don't have to be here wen in tears but they don't want to

If sleep is that disturbed and you are hysterical, don't go to school. Your issues are going to have to be adressed so you can have a more normal life. If you have to, just tell your folks you won't go. I don't like being a disobediant child either, I was on certain occasions in my life. This is one of those times, your own mental and physical state is more important than school. You can always go back to your education. Nobody has to do it within a certain period of time. Sometimes these things get in the way of education, but it is temporary. I do not think you are doing this to get out of school. I do believe you that there is a real issue going on. Maybe you aught to talk to school officials yourself. Your parents need to listen to you. I am in your corner, these are only suggestions, and what I would do if I had a child introuble like that. I think being a parent myself, I would get to the bottom of the issues, before I made my child go back to school crying. What good would you be there anyway? You wouldn't learn anything while in pain.....Keep me posted, I do care. Show your folks this post. I am F and 61 years old and had two children. I think I would believe my kids. xxxginnie

Hunter I agree with Ginnie dont go to school---u need to get your symptoms back on track as well as your sleep. Your on emotional overload right now and need to wind down from all the stress and pain. Talk to you mom tell her how difficult thing are going for you now-- and your cant handle going to school right now. Let us know how things go today --we all care about you!!

I still am weak, and dont feel very good. i just want to sleep, but im still in school. everyone wants me to stay in school. ive also had two attacks while here at school. is it strange to have attacks while washing hands? because ive had several attacks triggered by this. but wenever i tell them, they tell me to suck it up, i only have a couple of months left. i get extremely angry wen told this. and they dont understand, im in agony here. i tried convincing them to just let me take a online course but no. apparently thats not good enough for them. i have to live up to their standards. thanks everyone its warming to know i have you behind me
