Okay, maybe that is an overstatement, but I am not being such a great mom right now because of the pTDS and it's effects. My husband is trying to help out, but you know kids need their mom.

I didn't go to class today and I never do that. I was suppose to give a speech, so I messed up really bad, because there is no make up on that unless you have a note. I suppose my T could write one, but isn't that kinda embarrassing, yeah, I am going psycho right now, please excuse this student. I would rather drop the class than do that, take it when I have more of my act together.
I guess I just need to take care of myself and try to get through this, I have no other choice really. I just hate the way I feel. I didn't know hurt can feel so bad or I should say I forgot how bad it can feel.

Hi Cyrano!

so you can relate? I know prof. are far from being perfect, but I just don't want that stigma of having something wrong with me. I feel like in a way this is my job, and my prof. are like my bosses. I would rather them see the confident side of me. But what is funny is my in my creative class, my prof. is bi polar and he says it helps him be creative at times. Funny thing is that i am not bipolar, but I have the same free spirit like him, that is just dying to get out.
Ever see Harold and Maude? Well I want to be like Maude!
By the way, in class we watched Henry Fool, what a movie that is. lol That marriage proposal was over the top for sure!

Heh, I've always felt like Harold. For that matter, I've also always felt like Henry Fool.

Most good professors will look at the note and treat it like any other medical problem a student could show up with. They will work with you to find solutions. And don't worry about appearing confident, etc. That you didn't let your problem force you out of their class usually indicates a high level of maturity and they'll likely respect that.

PTSD is one tough disorder. Please do get the note from your T. Some things are a fact of life er..of the disorder, and it's best to use what you have to to get through. I'm glad your spouse is helping out, and hope T has helped him to understand more about PTSD. The extra stress of presentation may have pushed you over the top. ((((Hugs))))
