RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

I'm back for the fifth time
To rant about how much college is bad and is going the way of high school(A wall of text is coming on this tonight), to whine about how the IRC and the mods/admins are terrible(Just kidding, might pay you guys a visit or something) and how to yiff a live fox errr... Just no.

Re: I'm back for the fifth time
Welcome back, and like others here, I won't hold a grudge. I'm intent to hear your rant about college, since it won't be that long before I will be going (only three years.)

Sincerely?
Pretty fucking bad, had a constant headache since february which got worst in the last 3 months. I've been in the medical system for 5 months now, getting an appointment or any kind of healthcare takes weeks/months and it still takes like a month or two to get an MRI even if you're an urgent case, otherwise it's 6 months to 2 years. Now I can't even focus(Drawing, studying, paying attention, painting) for more than 30 minutes without the spot above my left eye making me want to stab it. And that's why I've not been drawing a lot lately, it's utterly frustrating, going to college with this pain is torture, I kid you not.

Painkillers don't work. Tried 500mg tylenols and 200mg advils. It's not a regular headache, it's just pain. I've had:
-Radiography
-CT
-Blood tests
-Eye tests(Sight, pressure and eye photographies)
And nothing is wrong until now. I caught this condition after a sinusitis in february and also maybe because of the horrible conditions I was in, I had a fever for 5-7 days without any medecine because my step dad preferred beating me up and screaming at me.

Do tell.
"I heard a joke once. Man goes to doctor says "I'm terribly depressed". Doctor says "I know just what you should do. Poliacci the clown is in town, go see him, you'll be cheered right up." The man bursts into tears. "But Doctor, I am Poliacci." Funny joke. Roll on snare drum. Everyone laugh."

Dang... that sucks...
If your headaches originally came from sinusitis, they might a mix of migraines and sinus headaches...
Maybe your body wasn't finished fighting it when you finished the antibiotics?

I didn't have any medecine/antibiotics
And I've never had migraines.

...
That would explain it then... yep, you need a doctor appointment...
From what you say about the pain over your left eye, maybe your left frontal sinus is still infected or otherwise messed up, there's also some trigger points near that area... Does it hurt if you press down on it?
