Thanks for sharing your story, ED. As sad as it makes me, I was glad to hear it.

My attempts to get myself to go to my sign language class failed pretty miserably. I left halfway through the lecture last Monday and didn't go at all on Wednesday. Before class on Wednesday, I actually plucked up the courage to send my professor an e-mail about the issues I have in that class. I was concerned and I didn't really know what to expect as far as a reply from her, but I wanted to express to her that I really enjoy the subject matter and I'm not a bad student. She was very understanding about the whole thing. We have a test in that class this afternoon and she has offered to let me take the test apart from other people in another room, for which I am really thankful.
Also, I made myself an appointment to have an assessment at the psychological service department at school. It took a lot out of me to do it but I finally got myself in there and made an appointment. My meeting isn't until the 28th, but I've been keeping a journal and trying just to keep up with my own brain for the last couple of days. I have so much to talk about, so hopefully finally hashing it out with someone else who I know will listen (hopefully) without freaking out will do me some good.

Thanks for reading.
