So if you read my last substantial post you know that I have been having a really hard time this month. And during my 16 hour layover (my flight got cancelled and they rescheduled it for 6 the next morning, blech. they had no pilots, isn't that great.) I was thinking and December has always been a bad month. Usually that means there's a trauma anniversary of some kind, and all I can come up with is stuff about having to spend a lot of time with my mother due to xmas break and all. And now I'm here, which I always dread. If my grandmothers weren't so old and in such poor shape I wouldn't come home at all. I just can't deal with my mother. It makes sense though, because I've been having my "mom tapes" playing constantly telling me I'm worthless. It didn't help that I had asshole prof who acted like I was using my migraines and disability to not take quizzes and a test. I got 100% on everything I turned in (no late homework, even for those of us who have documented disabilities and work with disAbility resources. And I got a B- in the class, which I think is bullshit. Once I have my hands on the final I will be appealing.) even though I ALWAYS had it done by the due date.
I'm just a ball of PTSD related depression and anxiety and I have been all month. I caught myself thinking that I should just end it with the first person I've ever loved. It's been that bad. Now that I'm in Chicago I just want to leave. Waiting for the plane filled me with anxiety and just made me want to ditch it and go home. I've been here 30 minutes and I'm crying.
I'll be back hopefully in a few weeks. I'm just overwhelmed with PTSD-related issues right now.
I hope you're all well and enjoy the holiday season (and for you students/profs I hope you enjoy your break.) I need to go now.
I FUCKING HATE DECEMBER (and can't wait until I can spend every December in my little repopulated ghost town in southwest Texas. Nothing gets to me there, I'm just filled with a sense of peace and joy at being alive. After I pay off my student loans I'll probably buy some land and move there for good. people survive down there by working as little as 2 nights a week (those that own land anyway.)
*sigh*

I'm really sorry, I can feel some of your pain. I had to cut it with my mother some eight years ago. Good luck and stay strong.....
by all means, challenge that B-.
((hugs)) LC.
I know it doesn't help with past/passed stuff but have you adopted a 'mother of choice'?
She might help a bit...
What is a "mother of choice'?
Xmas sux for me too.... ;(
The PTSD is really something every December. I've learned that I need to be totally alone at this time. Care for me. Love me. The real thing, not "approval".
Well, I'm not your mother, but I'm really happy that you're here on the planet, and admire all your abilities and achievements.
