hey....I know how you feel about the school thing! I've had a sort of similar experience, well I had to take a semester out due to depression, so I didn't graduate with my classmates, then I started a teacher training course and dropped out of that...
Yes, its frustrating seeing people pass you by who are just as good as you, but don't have depression/anxiety/etc issues....well its one of the things that frustrate me that I'm not moving on with my life as much as my friends are. I haven't a solution I'm afraid. Actually, one of my friends, who was 'prefect' if you know what I mean, like had an ideal life, perfect husband etc, well one day her dad drown out of the blue (by accident I might add). So, I mean, you never know when things like that might happen. The people I compare myself too, well they might get cancer at 35 or something else terrible. I guess there's different ways of looking at it. But I mean, somehow, depression/anxiety/mental issues don't seem valid.
Well. Is there anyway round your parents? I mean, can't you say to them how ill you are? Perhaps they don't think of depression etc as a 'good excuse' if you see what I mean. Perhaps if you said that if you had broken your both your legs, would they still expect you to work for three months? Do you see what I mean? Could you work part time in something with minimal hassle?
Whats a DUI?
Kind regards
Meri
