Almost Unbelievable Story!


by: Sue on Wed, Oct 10 2007

My name is Sue,

I was in my last semester of my master’s degree for Counseling Psychology. I had worked diligently for 3 long years. My G.P.A. is 3.6.

I was due to graduate in May of 2007. The professor that runs the masters program did not care too much for me. I guess we had a personality conflict.

I was doing an internship at hospice. During this time I developed a Deep Vein Thrombosis (Blood-Clot) and missed a week of my internship. The professor took this opportunity to remove me from the masters program.

This occurred in March of 2007. During this same time, I lost my house in a foreclosure and a vehicle. One of my dogs developed Congestive Heart Failure.

Everything that has occurred since March has just recently “hit” me. I cannot afford to see a therapist. However, I do see a psychiatrist about every three months.

thank you,

Sue

It took my 13 year old son, and my 3 year old daughter to convince me we should leave, because we would never get out of there alive! [more..]
