Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I finally started collapsing at about age 42, while in grad school for a second time (this time, for psych). The only thing left was writing a thesis, but that's when I got really sick. It took me two years to work on my diet and then another two years of chelation - by then, I wasn't better but I was well enough to write. I had (and still have) little stress tolerance, and so it was a bit like a death march, but I made it! At your age, it'll feel like it's taking forever, but you will get through it and be able to get back to your life. What were the two of you studying?

I am 26 now. I dropped out because i was unable to focus and had become very ADD, depressed and exhausted. Before that i found that i could either study, work or have something that resembled a social life. Many of my peers did all 3 things without problems and i struggled so much doing just 1 thing I am chelating and chelating and will hopefully get back to college as soon as i get some of my brain back... Unfortunately it seems to take longer than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
