Thanks all, you guys are a real help. I've got one of the most extreme cases in my age group according to my doctor. It's crushing at this age. I know college will be different, and most people in the family and in my circle would laugh themselves to death if they knew I had to resort to this forum for support on something perceived to be so superficial... But really. Just skimming over your comments every once in a while armors me for the next day. You guys are awesome!
