I'm really sorry that happened.

This internship would have been good for you.

At least you're trying...and that's a good thing.

I wonder if taking the right medication would have helped.

I'm so sorry Angnix. I have bad meltdowns too.

I know how hard you tried. I hope you can be kind to yourself and try to think of it as a learning experience.

Hugs :(

I'm sorry.

Don't get mad if I'm out of line, but, maybe work with a therapist on stress management techniques?

Good luck.

That is sad news. Sorry.

All I can suggest is try to keep moving forward. We all have setbacks...the trick is to learn from them so can you find better paths forward.

And we wish you well. And success.

I can still save it... I talked to a social worker and then they will talk to my supervisor about accomodations!

My case manager is hating how my family treats me though and suggested going to college in the fall (I got in) or just simply moving away... Let's just say they won't stop trying to take advantage of me...

It sounds like you are trying to navigate your way to a better future. GREAT!!

I think going through life is a little like hiking through rough terrain. Sometimes you hit obstacles; sometimes you find you took a wrong turn; sometimes you don't know what is the best way to go forward.

You do the best you can. Sometimes you reroute to get around an obstacle; sometimes you retrace your steps and try a different path; sometimes you make your best guess and see where it takes you.

The key is to keep trying. It sounds like you are doing that. GREAT!! Someday your perseverance could get you someplace wonderful.
