Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Congratulations on earning your college degree inspite of your daily challenges. You have accomplished a lot! I love your attitude. Anne > > Despite missing a lot of school and/or suffering my way through a class and the fog, I have managed to graduate with an AAS degree from the local community college. Only 30 years late but I never had the time or money to do so raising four daughters by myself. I realized that as long as my employer stays off of my back I can do things and I have the freedom to do as I please. Watch Tony Curtis movies during the day, manage a shuffling dance at night. To hell with FM and the related stuff. I want to live - Too bad it only took me six years to realize this. Perhaps you can too. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Congratulations, ! Setting your mind on a goal is only half of the job. Committing yourself to do what is required is the hard part. There are several examples from people on other groups who have set their minds to overcome depression and/or chronic pain in pursuing dreams and challenges. You sound as if you have risen above the limitations, cleared away enough of the brain fog, and are setting a new path for yourself. One bit of experience learned the hard way (over and over); when I feel as if I have the energy and mental ability to do something, I go at it full speed ahead. Instead of taking my usual break after an hour, I plunge on. Then, for several days I am laid up in bed with severe pain - my body's revenge. Lesson learned is to take it in moderation and know your limits. > > Despite missing a lot of school and/or suffering my way through a class and the fog, I have managed to graduate with an AAS degree from the local community college.
