Hey guys! I disappeared for awhile and tons of things changed and are still changing now and I am in need of support. So here goes.. My pain has been a yo-yo, my schooling is going good in some respects and I need to pick it up in others especially since finals are quickly coming up in a month, got my license, got into my first car accident, my boyfriend and I broke up and on top of all of this my parents and I have come to the conclusion that I should move out due to the unhappiness I have with the situation and how bad the stairs are for my pain so I am trying to get funding for myself till I am done school. So I spiralled to an extreme with all of this piling within the last month and now I am picking up my pieces. I am proud to say I didn't fall back onto T3's (I became addicted to them prior and hurt myself with them last time I had a spiral) So I have my goals: School--\>get my projects done, hand in anything outstanding, read each of the chapters and understand them. License/Accident--\> Follow through with MPI injury claim cause my knee hit the dashboard really hard Love Life--\> I actually have a list of things before I can get into another relationship. Over the last 6 years I have had 4 relationships and been single for a total of 3 weeks and 4 days before St. Pats Day (the day we broke up) and now I have been single for another 2 weeks. I need to be happy with me, living on my own, ahead in school, and feeling less unhealthy before I can get into a relationship. Dates are fun but no exclusiveness or leaning on them a lot till I am ready. Moving Out--\> I first need funding. I have researched the costs of everything, got a budget laid out, have an idea of what I need, a bachelor pad that is accessible(no stairs). I have all furniture needed, have figured out what things I need and have either budgeted them for an IKEA run or have found them a different way. I am very happy with what I do have but tackling it daily, trying to organize and clean so it's move friendly when I finally get the funds and it's tiring. Health--\> I need to see my dr, my ct scan of my hip showed it was a slipped disc with that fall I had in the winter, my knee is killing me, the one that went into the dashboard in my accident (100% his fault). I have an ambulatory eeg coming up in the summer to monitor my brainwaves for a few days in my own environment this is so my new neurologist can see how my epilepsy is doing. ---

It really sounds like you have thought this through, even with the stress that you’ve faced these last few months. It sounds like a good plan - get that knee looked at. You don’t need to walk around if it is damaged. Wishing you the best. Don’t be a stranger ~ hugs~ Sandi
