hi,
I am glad to be here and posting how I feel. I've been in bed with my depression for a week. My big stressor is school. A few weeks ago I was put on probation and I cannot attend classes in my program. Basically me and one of my teachers had formed a friendship. From what I have gathered he has complained about me. This came up last Jan. when I asked him about it he said he didn't do this. I believed him which was a big mistake. I only figured this out in May when he complained yet again and I told them that he was denying doing this. At this point I had decided to quit the program and contacted him to say goodbye. Well, even though I had officially notified them that I had quit they put me on probation for the next 2 months. They have since then treated me like a criminal. They met me at one of my classes and barred me from attending. It made me feel like a black child from the 1950's being denied the right to an education. Luckily the 2nd letter putting me on probation allowed me to file an appeal. I feel such a betrayal from my teacher. I don't feel like I have much to live for but I know that is just stinking thinking. I'm amazed how much this experience has shamed and humiliated me. I got a new job and with my depression haven't started it yet. I am going in to work tonight. I feel really isolated, I don't have the friendships I used to have. I should just quit the program but I want to wait and see what happens with the appeal. I had one part of my assistance terminated due to problems with my worker. I set up to do a fair hearing but then I got all this documentation and it just made me feel horrible. So, I cancelled the fair hearing because I just don't feel like I can deal with it. This has helped. I just to need to focus on the future and working through my emotions without getting caught up in the memories. I don't know how to do that but I am going to learn. Thanks for listening.
