View Full Version : Vent- - bad day!

Okay, excuse me y'all, but I really need to vent! I've had a bad day...

So, today, I walked into the den to talk to my parents, and on the desk sitting next to the computer by my dad was a box that had my name on it. So, I was like "what's that? It has my name on it!" So, my parents handed it to me...they made me a "care package" [long story as to why I got it, won't get into that]. So I open up the box, and inside is chocolate, m&m's, a letter, pictures, and a note card that said my parents would buy me a computer game...So, I read the letter... "...we wanted you to know how much we love you and care about you, so here is your own 'care package'.....You are growing into such a wonderful and beautiful young lady...it's fun to have you home now because we'll miss you a whole lot someday. Love, Mom and Dad" I feel horrible now!! Their "wonderful and beautiful young lady" is suffering from an ED and I didn't have the courage to tell them, that was probably the best time to tell them and i didn't!! And, I just feel so bad hiding this from them, but I know I'm not ready to tell them... http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/confused.gif

And, I'm so scared! [this is a bit off topic, but it's got me down, so I'm going to share] I have to go to my back doctor tomorrow! He's going to give me x-rays and see if my scoliosis has increased! Right now, the curve in my spine is 45 degrees and if it reaches 60 degrees then I need surgery...the doctor said that the way it will grow is if I grow, and I haven't grown, but I'm still scared that it might have...I've already been through a surgery...that was on my knee, and it was a simple surgery, this would be a bigger, more complex surgery and I'm not sure if I could deal with that... http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif

Anyway, I'm done complaining now!! Thanks for listening!

Katie, thanks for posting and sharing how you're feeling. It sounds like you've got wonderful parents - who will be supportive when you find the courage to tell them about your ED. I encourage you to tell them soon. Maybe you could write them a letter? Good luck with your doctor's appt. and x-rays. It does sound scary, but I know you'll make it through whatever is necessary. Especially with loving parents by your side. Let us know how it goes. Mel

Good news! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif I won't need surgery on my back!! The scoliosis hasn't grown, or changed!! It's the same, and my bones are "mature" enough that they probably won't be growing anymore, so the curve won't grow! I'm very excited about that..

But,about my parents...they may be loving [sometimes] but they are so hard to talk to, about anything...they make assumptions and then run with them...or they make comments on things, that I think are wrong, but I don't have the courage to stand up to them, I never have the courage to stand up to them...or tell them anything... http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif

eh..anyway, I'm done complaining about them...for today at least! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Unfortunately, no better! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif My back has been hurting me ever since I got the good news from my doctor! But, I'm hoping it'll get better really soon!

http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dizzy.gif I have a drivers ed final to take on Monday! I'm really scared about it! I've missed two days this week of drivers ed so I'm hoping that they didn't talk about anything too important!

http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/eek.gif I was in the school parking lot yesterday driving and I was almost hit when I was pulling out of the parking spot by my principal! He came whiping around the corner, while I was switching from reverse to drive! I was sooooo freaked out!! I was shaking and on edge the rest of the time I was driving!

http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/tongue.gif Good news: My voice teacher said that I have a beautiful voice! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif i was so scared that she was going to say that I have a terrible voice and could never make it into the music business! [Which is what I want my career to be.] Whoohoo!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bouncing.gif

wow! I'm really talkative today! hee! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/gabby.gif

GREAT NEWS ABOUT YOUR VOICE TEACHER!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bouncing.gif that's awesome!!!

And don't worry about the driving thing, it gets easier with time, my first few times I was scared to death...now I think i need to learn to drive a lil' more cautiously. lol...

NEVER GIVE UP

Sarah--
Yeah, i was so excited that my voice teacher said that! I was like "whoohoo!! she thinks i have a pretty voice!"

But, with driving! I'm so scared for the final! I barely passed the quiz! [there were only 10 questions, and i missed 3] but, now i KNOW i need to study for this test, but I'm such a procrastinator and i HATE to study!! heh--one reason, why I'm better off going to a performing school rather than Harvard [where my sis is applying for]...

Only ten question??? http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/eek.gif Far out... that’s not much! When I went for my learners license the theory test had about 40 questions I think... and the most you were allowed to get wrong was 2!

Good luck with the driving test, Katie. Haha... I’m going for my restricted licence in a couple weeks too... so I think we’re both going through about the same thing!

You’ll do fine, I’m sure... don’t worry so much!

oh! Good luck on your test!

This was just a quiz that had 10 questions. The test for my permit had prolly 30-40...and i got 100% on that! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

My test that I have tomorrow [which i still haven't studied for yet] is a Midterm over the course I'm in. Eeks! 100 or so questions on that one! I think I should study! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif
