Nick, I have been chronic for 3 years now with no preventatives working for me. I have tried everything. Yes life is miserable, life sucks, I quit working a year ago, I have filed for permenent disability, I feel suicidal often but I dont! Every day is taken one day at a time. I talk to my husband, for you you need to talk to your girlfriend and parents. I mean open up and be real honest. When you are ready to give up you have to be able to tell someone and bounce it off of them. I come to the board. This place has kept me sane. I have not only gotten medical info into my condition but I have found friends and family that really understand and care and are not going to desert me because I am a head banger and a little different. There not going to tell me I can't come to the board because they are always tired of seeing and hearing about my headaches and I make them uncomfortable. This is home. I can laugh, cry, and be myself here. Maybe now isn't the time for you to go to school. Maybe you
should work on just taking care of you. Once you get yourself on a good preventative or out of cycle go back to class. Just a thought.
