moodyskydiver 0 #1 September 29, 2004 Yep.I'm spoiled.Lets talk about me. Well folks, I'm still here. I've been a bit quite,but I'm here.Thanks to those friends who have kept me going lately through these very rough times.I wouldn't havent made it without y'all. For those of you who dont know, I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.I was finally able to get treatment because the quality of my life continued to diminish to the point where I could not function on a normal level without difficulty.Unfortunately I am no longer able to skydive for the time being due to the adverse side effects of the medications I'm taking.It might be temporary or it might not.I just got current this month after a 2 year layoff and now I cant jump again.Things are bad right now.I hope they will get better.Maybe one day... It was upsetting being at a boogie surrouded by wonderful people but knowing I couldnt jump.I appreciate everyone who offered kind words and made my friend feel so wonderful on her tandem. School has suffered from this as well.I hope that will get better too.I wont quit.I'm in a huge battle with Residence Life to get out of my housing contract.Just this morning I put a deposit and first month's rent on my first cute little apartment.Its a small step,but also a big one for me and its all mine. Now I'm going to go drag my tired butt to my honor society meeting and hope my grades can survive this semester long enough to remain a member in good standing. So thats it..the good,bad and ugly for those of you who were kind enough to ask why I have been quiet and absent.Thanks for caring. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

AggieDave 6 #2 September 29, 2004 Get your Dr. to give the school the finger when it comes to their housing. If they won't corroperate, tell them you have a disability and since they're discriminating you're getting your lawyer. I've seen students have to do that to the Admin at A&M to scare them into actually not fucking the students over. *hug* Skydiving will still be there for ya when you can jump again.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #4 September 29, 2004 Amber, sweetie, I think that you are a wonderful person. Please know that we are all here for you. QuoteIt was upsetting being at a boogie surrouded by wonderful people but knowing I couldnt jump. Yes, it's so hard when you are grounded. Believe me, I understand. Please know that this too shall pass. You WILL skydive, again. You will. Eventually, you will find a way to work around this set-back. Btw, I take daily medication (strictly for health/physical reasons), but I cannot take them when skydiving (side effects, such as drowsiness). I have found that I can wait until the end of the day to take it , even though it's very difficult physically. Perhaps, you can do something similar? Focus on school and your new apt. It is awesome to have your first own apartment. Amber, that is a HUGE achievement right there! Being on the honor society is another huge achievement. Focus on the positive...you have so much. You just have to remember that, my friend. OK, I am in a hurry, but I really do care about you so much. It was an honor to meet somone like you in Rantoul. You seem genuine, work hard and are very kind. Be good to yourself, and know that you are a wonderful person who is just going through a difficult time. We all luv ya, girl.

I absolutely loved living on my own in an apartment -- you will too, I'm sure. Here's hoping that focusing on fewer things will let you move some of them into the background, so they're not as frikkin hard all the time.

So they started scrutinizing my reasons for leaving.I was almost in tears when I left the Res Life Dept b/c they had been so horrible (and I've already had a bad week).Now theres a formal inquiry involving a questionnaire to my Dr and a second opinion from a doc on the school's payroll aparently. Honestly,I dont give a shit right now.I dont need this drama BS right now w/everything else I have going on.I'm moving into my new apt on Friday with or w/o their consent.If they dont like it they can talk to my doc and my lawyer.
