i just wanted to say that about my previous post (as if any could give a shit) that I'm not saying that ADD, OCD, and depression are not valid ailments

No, Sherelle. I don't think you're wrong. I think there are a lot of people for whom a severe mental breakdown happens. Where depression/other disorder goes way out of hand and there's nothing that can be done. But you're right, too many people make excuses, and too many people use this as a way to make those excuses when they have no fucking idea what it's like to be really despondent and really mentally sick.
Our mothers went through true hell, and while yes, my mother is now a stay at home mom to our dog, she still takes care of the house, bills, and my father, and even when she was going through great depressions, when we needed her, she found a way to scrape herself out of bed to work two jobs to make sure my sister and I at least had shoes that mostly fit. I'm currently dealing with a crappy almost year long depression, but even if I'm not working at 100% capacity, and not getting everything done that I really should if I was perfect, I'm trying damnit. The number one way to help depression is to fight it, to not succumb to it and not let it take control.
I will get my degrees, even if it's a semester later than I would like, because I need to pace myself for me. I will travel, even if it wasn't when I was 18, because I will work for it. I will have a good life, because America can give it to me if I care enough to work for it and take it.
What you said last post came out harsh, but I knew what you meant. :)
