School

Well, classes start in two weeks, and I am well on my way to a total freak out.  My dad is on disability, and he just spent $400 on my books.  My mom paid just about as much for my tuition.  For the first time in over a decade I have classes five days a week, I have no idea how I'm going to fit homework and taking care of my family in.  I'm not my most stable, my cycle is revving up hard, I don't know if I can do this.  I know, I'm a whiner and a slacker, so many people work full time and take classes full time and yadda yadda yadda.  I know I'm not brave and strong like them.  My poor boyfriend is doing the best he can to keep me healthy and moving, I would be so lost without him.  
I don't know.  I just don't know.

    Don't give up before you even try. You don't know how strong you can be until you are tested. Go in their with the mindset of you can do this and do it well. If you need to, go talk to your teachers/professors in person at the beginning of the semester and talk to them about your situation and your concerns. More often than not they will be more willing and able to help if they know of the situation from the very beginning... but don't let your worries get you down, otherwise your are only setting yourself up for failure and won't get where you want/need to be.

    If your hormones are out of wack it will make life more difficult. Once I got my cycle in check my hormonal meltdowns went away. Classes are 5 days a week but you are not in class 8hrs a day. You can always sell your books after the semester finishes.

    If you dont have money to go to the doctor you can always go to planned parent hood so you can get affordable birth control pills to help your cycle.

    You can always come back to shine for help :)
