hey steph, i'm so sorry to hear this is going on....but i'll tell you...sometimes life is F'd up....life has it's ups and downs...thats why why people say that..lol...

i've had to drop classes before (which probably doesn't help you any, considering i'm a college drop out...lol) but i know i felt bad about it too....but it sounds like you have your stuff together more than me!!

for your job....i'll say sales SUCKS! i don't remember what you do...but i just couldn't do sales (i could do sales, and sell the crap out of stuff...but it isn't my thing to get into peoples heads and figure out how to make them buy it...i was a trainer..and it got old, the way i did it was good...but i stopped having modivation after a while).

we all hit a bump in the road....mike and i are struggling right now too....we pay $1995 right now for rent (we live in the bay area), which we are trying to find something smaller, and obviously cheaper....but it's hard! bay area SUCKS to live in...and now we have a new situation, and we don't know how we may have to get income....

but also remember,....how old are you?? of course we get stuck when we are young...who has't had a hell of alot of burdens....so don't blame yourself for it all....life happens...we've gotta get through the bad to get to the good...which seems like smaller areas...but it's what we work for.

but it is a bad cycle...you don't take care of yourself, everything else will go to hell. and when you don't feel like taking care of yourself, what can you do? i've been stuck there a little myself, i've had tummy problems for the past 2 weeks, i don't know what the heck it is...but it gets you down...and yes, you feel gross and your body is BLEH...to YOU! but other people don't see you that way...i actually talk about my ibs alot to people, you'll be suprised how many people will open up and say they have problems, or know someone like that too, one girl i know, who suffers with ibs and hasn't really opened up to anyone..and was embarassed to talk about it, told me she got sick the other day...which i know what an accomplishment, because even admiting you get sick is hard...just cuz it seems gross....but having family, friends and things to support you on that too...really does make a difference, and if you can joke about it,...it helps a little too...a friend at work said the other day "lyndsey, it's so funny, with your irritable bowels and irritable uterous...and your so nice" life is ironic i guess.

(((((((((((((hugs to you steph)))))))))))))))))))))

like the saying...this too will pass....there is light out there somewhere...and i believe it...thats whats gotten me through a hell of alot!!!
