Thanks Dragon Queen! I appreciate it...
I dropped out of high school for a combo of health reasons. 1. my thyroid is dying because I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
2. I had severe depression and tried to kill myself, was an active cutter, etc. so I was finally admitted to the hospital and missed tons of school while in there
3. I developed tarsal tunnel syndrome in my foot.
I'm not trying to whine. But boy when life beats up on you, it hits you hard. All three of those things are why I dropped out. Even my teachers were understanding. I was sick.
I definitely understand your situation also.
My snakes light up my day. Sometimes when I feel so down and I have slept 16 or more hours because of my thyroid, holding the snakes makes me feel a little better....There's a reason they use pets in hospitals.
Thanks for the nice post and support. I understand your situation all too well.
I had to rehome my kitty, and my dog got cancer and we put her down. RIP.(Did I forget anything??
