Having said that, I will agree that what arrianna said above is a good course of action but on 1 condition, YOU ACTUALLY DO IT! Don't go through life without getting your GED if you drop out of High School...and DON'T wait to start on it. Waiting reduces the probability exponentially that you will ever do it. Realize it isn't going to be easy and it will take a lot of effort (maybe more effort then what you are putting in at High School) but it will be well worth it. |
I will completely agree with that. Getting a GED and the Adult High School Degree is not the walk in the park some people think it is. You still have to work hard and get the work done to get the credits. It does have an advantage however in that you can do it at the pace you can do with your health. Find a mentor, someone who can help you work out a schedule of exactly what you need to accomplish and when. As long as you KEEP AT IT it may take a little longer but you will still get there.
BTW not only wasn't I miserable I was the happiest I had been in years.
PS. I know all about the stress diagnosis. I received the same results when I went in with the exact same symptoms. It took a major life change to discover the reason my immune system was so low that my body couldn't handle the stress. Not saying you have the same thing just that there's a chance the Dr. has missed a cause. I love my Dr. too and still have him, he just didn't know what to look for.
@Hassun; do you even have something like the GED and the Adult High School Degree where you are?
