When I was in 2nd Grade, my teacher suffered from a kidney stone. I was extremely sad and terrified for her but now she's okay.

I am finally off my ADHD medicine for good today, . It has been such a struggle for me as I dealt with a lot of emotional problems but now I never have to take that medicine again. The thing is, I couldn't have been able to do this even as late as last year, even though I had some emotional problems and attention problems, I was able to go through with this. My very supportive parents told me that they would put me back on my medicine if I needed it, but I am very proud of myself that I was able to go all the way. By the way, if your reading this Mom and Dad, thanks for all the wonderful help and support you've given me over the years, love you, >3. We tried taking me of my meds when I was like 7 or 8 (I believe I was closer to 8) and trust me, I was like Fred Figglehorn in the episode "Fred Loses his Meds", in other words, I felt completely uncomfortable in my own skin. I would get angry all the time, cry a lot, and say mean things I didn't mean because of it. But now, I'm completely happy, which is why my avatar is a Happy Tree Friend, not a Sad Tree Friend, am I right? XD! We also took me off my meds when I was 13 and 16 and I wasn't able to live with it then either but now that I'm finally off and feel happier than I ever have, this is the best accomplishment of my life so far and I am SO extremely proud of myself.

Congratulations!

Separation disorder is very hard to over come. How did you do it?

Separation disorder is very hard to over come. How did you do it?

Not sure actually:

All I remember was that when I was in preschool, I didn't want to be away from my parents. Fast forward to 3rd Grade, I was not comfortable having sleepovers at friend's or even other family member's houses because of missing my family (I had friends sleep over at my house;but I never went to their houses for that reason). Even as late as 5th Grade this was an issue, but suddenly, for some reason, it was over.

Might as well bump this up.

I have Asperger's Syndrome, which means I have a hard time socializing with people, I'm very sensitive to loud noises (which is why I hate thunderstorms), and I tend to obsess over certain things (Homestar Runner is the big one for me currently, as a lot of you know by now).

I'm also really picky about some things, and I tend to apologize over every little thing...

Oh, and I just recently learned how to tie my shoes, which is something I could not do before.

Well....

I'm a bit dyslexic, and can be a little slow.
