It had been two years since I had sung in public, and I was on the verge of panic. The virus that had attacked and paralyzed my vocal cord in the middle of my sophomore year of music school still caused unpredictable cracking, but that wasn't the reason for my drained confidence

Illnesses that aren't understood are SOOOO frusterating!!! I had something like fibromyalgia for several months and I know SOME people probably thought it was "All in my head"

If it had been I would have talked myself out of it!!! Believe me, I HATED feeling that way!

::Hugs:: I am sorry you were misunderstood. It always hurts to know we trusted someone who turned out not to be worth it.

But it doesn't mean you were naive, just that they aren't worth you time.

::Hugs:: It hurts. I know too well.

I enjoyed reading your entry.

What a JERK. Seriously! Some people are just hopeless. Good on you for getting through it!

I consistently love your entries. So glad to see you posting this week again!

And wow. What an experience. I was in choir in middle and high school and took private voice for a semester in college. But I never encountered anyone in your situation. However, avid fan of American Idol that I am, (LOL) I easily recalled David Archuleta a couple seasons back. He had the same thing you describe, and he, too has recovered after a long time not singing.

That had to be so crushing to hear that your teacher not only didn't believe you, but said such nasty things behind your back. You're super-courageous to get onstage and perform again, especially in front of him.

Loved the entry, as usual!

I'm glad you stuck through it.

Wow, how's that for betrayal. So strange, whatever impetus he had for being so evil. So sorry you had to go through something like that!
