My medical leave of absence was granted. I will be off all spring (if I can finish this semester without hurting myself!), but they are requiring me to return next summer to make up at least one class I missed last summer. Damn it. Oh well, I am looking forward to the break so that I can read all the great links people sent me (shout out to ML and T!) on natural remedies for ADHD and alternative approaches to deal with schools. I also think that working on not crying, increased self-esteem, picking healthy relationships with non-narcissists and actually accomplishing things in my daily life are all good goals.



I’m sure it is a big relief for you to look ahead at a less-stressful 2009. Glad they are giving you a semester break!
