I agree that I should be getting more help than I am, I'm just not sure where to go for it. <br /><br />I'm sorry to hear the concussion has affected you for so long.

The brain fog from the concussion combined with the usual migraine pain - oy. <br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear that school is so challenging right now. I agree with the others, cut yourself some slack and be good to yourself. As a disabled student, you should be given more than just extensions on Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407981987874669303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100388196141829299.post-91082857796836976012011-11-22T10:11:26.351-08:002011-11-22T10:11:26.351-08:00Thanks Migrainista, I'm trying not to let this...Thanks Migrainista, I'm trying not to let this setback get the best of me. :)<br /><br />And, MigraineMe, passing the bar with a migraine? I can't even imagine! Thanks for sharing your experience, and I'm definitely still figuring out how to juggle migraines and studying.

Some teachers are just like that and they think that migraines are just headaches, like the common headaches they have when they have a head cold or a hangover. I recently completed law school and took the bar exam with a migraine and it can be done - you just need the support of friends and/or family, or both, to get through it!

I know you will find other teachers who are more willing to work with you as you move forward.

I'm just really discouraged that my best may not even be mediocre, at least by this teacher's standards.

Cut yourself a little slack -- it's your first project at school after years off of school, and you are a different person with different abilities now than you were back then. Does the teacher realize you are disabled? Can your counselor act as an intermediary between you and the teacher while you get a tutor? Don't give up hope, and don't panic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
