Dont you understand? says:
Cool ... I want to apologize to you. At the same time ... I want to let you in on what is going on with me ... and the conclusions that my mother and I have come to
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:
ok shoot
Dont you understand? says:
BAre with me ... I get tongue twisted
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:
ok
Dont you understand? says:
I lost control of myself. I was consumed by ... my feelings and my thoughts. I was pulled in to a pit, of what I believed, no return. I gave up, I wanted out of the insanity ... I turned to my girlfriend to occupy my mind ... I went home and forced myself to hold in everything .... I tried to hide from the world
Dont you understand? says:
I wanted to let myself go ... let myself just unwind ... even if that meant coming back to school next year ... atleast I would have time to myself ... time to finally release everything inside of me ... to not have to worry about peoples perceptions ... to just let it go ... and then come back with a clean slate
Dont you understand? says:
I realize it doesnt work that way ... and that I have to work harder .... I can work at my own pace .... I can worry about myself ... and that I do have people there to listen to me ... and that care about me .... I know that school does not have to over power me ... and that I am not in a rush
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:
so are you trying to say that you are going to turn things around or are you still at the same conclusion that you will come back next year?
Dont you understand? says:
That's where it's hazy. I am going to try to pull myself together and finish this semester ... if I pass ... I pass ... if I fail ... I come back ... I am not going to purposely fail or slack off ... put I am not going to hurt myself again ... I am not going to push myself to do something that I am not ready for
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:
you said you went home and tried to make the world go away. It isn't going to go away and I think the best thing for you is to go out into teh world...
Dont you understand? says:
I know that now
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:
I think in a way you don't realize that everybody has so many problems in life and are struggling with things right now including school. You don't have to do things alone you can ask anyone for help
Dont you understand? says:
I was wrong
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:
doing things on your own isn't easy and you don't have to be embareassed to ask for help from anyone
Dont you understand? says:
I know ... and i have finally asked for help ... I asked my mother and Chantal to help me today ... I have finally ... after 19 years ... realized that I need help ...
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:

Dont you understand? says:
A) Put my focus back on school B) Go to a psychiatrist and not hold it off C) come clean to phylis D) LIVE
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:

Dont you understand? says:
lol .. you just made me cry
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:
sorry lol thought I was helping haha
Dont you understand? says:
You are ... Im just so happy that you haven't turned your back. I know it's probably hard dealing with me on top of everything else that is on your plate
Laura-That much closer to an interview with Paul Brandt says:
lol it was tough at times, I tried not to loose it because I know how I would have felt in your position. But at the same time we were hoping that the e-mail wouldn't have negative effects and you would turn yoru back on us. But I am glad you took it the right way and not offensive because we really are worried.
Dont you understand? says:
I know ... and it helped to wake me up. I just want you to understand that this is still going to be a battle ... but I'm moving at my own pace now ... Im not going to kill myself over everything ...
