By the way, do the docs have your meds down or are yall still doing trial-and-error trying to figure out what is going to be beneficial? I know how difficult it is with the former. Ever considered taking less hours in the future, even if only for a semester or two, to help?
Ugh, I just know exactly how you feel and it sucks so badly. Just know that it's an extra hurdle we have to deal with but you can deal with it. You just have to work your ass off to stay focused and healthy. It's so tough but just stay strong-willed, please. :/

no she doesn't, but she puts up the powerpoints of the lectures online, so it's not that hard for me to use that and the textbook and figure out what's going on. it's not like it's impossible, i just think i'd probably remember it better if i heard it in lecture
we have my meds...semi-down? because we had them for a while and they were fine but i think one of them is starting to not work on me anymore, and my doctor did genetic testing that showed him some of the medications that will work best for me, so we're going to work on that over the summer. we're not changing it now because if we mess up and i get screwed up during finals week...that would be pretty terrible.
i probably should take less hours. i thought i could handle 5 classes this semester but it looks like i can't. i'll probably go back to 4, like i had last semester. i didn't feel nearly as overloaded then and i could focus a lot more on specific classes. it doesn't help that all of my deadlines this semester seemed to bunch up together, so any week i'd have a test i'd usually have 3 other tests that same week. i need to pace myself. i just thought i didn't have enough credits, but i guess that's not that big of a price to pay if it keeps me from doing badly in the classes i do take.
and don't worry too much about me. things are kinda tough right now, but i've been through way worse and gotten out of it, so i'll survive.
