    • Close Career Changes

      I moved away from my husband to get ready for his military retirement. I thought it woudn't be a big deal getting a teaching job, but it was horribly difficult. Now I have one and it's overwhelming me beyond belief.

      Just try to make it to my car before it hits and I feel overwhelmed by the enormous amount of work there is to do.

    • Close Hearing Loss & Deafness
      Type: Combination

      I was born prematurely and have had chronic ear infections, reconstructions, etc. Dr said I'm 1% of the 1% that never grew out of that crap. It's a PIA, sometimes I wish I were just totally deaf, I like that world better anyway.

      always just a temporary fix and eventually there's enough scar tissue they do a tympanoplasty and more reconstruction. forget it.
