Things seem to be going from bad to worse really quick. The other day was the first time that I really did not talk to my counselor, and I cried in front of her. I just am so out of it. It is really taking its toll on me. I just dont do anything any more. Even worse I got sick and have used it as an excuse not to go to school. My mom is leaving me in charge again this week. I tried to tell her how much stress it puts on me, but she said that I am in college, I need to deal with it. I am sorry, but I didnt know that her child was my problem. I now I have to take care of my younger brother. I just wish that she would understand what it is like for me to deal with the whole house, my younger brother, dogs, and staying on top of all of my classes. I guess this what I get for living at home. But on the plus side, my boyfriend is finally coming home from studying abroad in less than a month It will make thinks so much better for me!
