thank you! I needed that!! Here's a big hug for you, too {{{{ }}}}
 
Today is one of my not very good days. Went to a deaf movie night and things went well. I have learned enough ASL to follow along with about 60-75% of the conversations. They even slowed down just a little for me. I actually understood when they mentioned next month's movie (2012). So it was great for me. I just wish son did not go. My family is now making me feel like I can't function on my own and need to have someone with me constantly.

Today - I am feeling very much in my own little shell. I am trying to work on my ASL homework for class since we have another class joining ours for the one night and we are going to have a little competition. It is beginning to stress me and my family keeps interrupting me during study time and does not even try to help anymore.

(I love this Google Chrome - it has a spell checker that IE does not have :giggle:)

I will be fine, but it gets really hard at times.

Hang in there Kristina juggling a family and school gets easier as time goes by.

I used to go through that constantly. I solved that problem by learning ASL and getting involved with the Deaf community.

Hope everything improves in the future. What about learning ASL and getting involved with the Deaf community?

Funny you say that. That's what im trying to do RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT! lol. I swear to God I think Depression and Deafness comes hand in hand, they certainly start with the same letter! But pushing aside my mule like stubborness of trying to FIT in mainstream society ( and its a rough ride, lemme tell you ) I am now trying to find myself around people who are just like me. Who would treat me as one of them, not as an outsider with some kind of " learning disability ". I am learning ASL so I CAN communicate with the Deaf culture, and also, to help those who truly deserve it. It's starting to work :)
