That's terrible. However, you and everyone with Muscular Dystrophy have support, from people you don't even know, like me. I live in Hawaii, and I'm part of my schools JROTC program. I'm on the Saber team, and we did two performances at Muscular Dystrophy Association meetings, one of which I was able to attend. I was proud to be there, dressed up in Class A's, and I know it was for a worthy cause.
As for myself... I've been diagnosed with ADHD and depression, both of which I take medication for. In 7th grade I was so miserable that I tried to commit suicide, and damn near succeeded. I got myself landed in the hospital for two days, and I've been seeing psychiatrists ever since. Since then I've improved a lot, but when I get depressed sometimes I wish I had succeeded. The thing is, when I get depressed often it's for no reason at all, but I just start feeling shitty. I guess my depression comes from my birthmother, who also had depression (I was adopted at age 4, but luckily I didn't move through a bunch of foster homes. The mom who adopted me has taken care of me since I was 7 months old).
I have a sister that's really messed up, though... she was also adopted (She's one of three sisters, two of who are not adopted), but her biological mother was even worse off than mine... hers was on crack and shit like that, and she suffers for it today. She's practically uncontrollable, and it's truly difficult to have to live with her sometimes. I really should treat her better because it's not her fault, but I really don't heed that and I treat her like crap.
Well, my train of thought just crashed. Toodles.
