15/F
I have hypothyroidism, depression, PMDD, hypoglycemia and we dont have it all fixed yet but close.
My doctors said the only thing we can really do at this point is wait for the meds to kick in which could take like FOREVER, and get me on a good sleeping schedule: ten hours of sleep going back a half hour each week.
But I have to be in homeroom by 7:25 and I take quite a while to get ready. I barely have time for breakfast which I NEED.
My school said I can have lunch and study block first period and just come in after that, but Id be missing out on all those people, morning pep rallies, which wouldnt help my self esteem. NO I cannot stay for afterschool activites.

SO do you guys wake up "fully refreshed" each morning, like I think Im supposed to? And how do you make TIME for so much going on?? I needneedneed to be ready this year :[
Ive almost failed 8th and 9th grade by absenteeism [whole second semester] and Im running out of advanced courses. Arrgh, HELLLP!

I dont think that any high school school student wakes up "fully refreshed". I know I definately didnt when I was in high school. I struggled to get out of bed each morning. I understand that these problems you are having is not your fault but you are the only one that can do something about it. If the school is willing to work with you than great. But if you dont want to accept their offer because of missing out on the social activies then its up to you to do something else. You need to make sacrifices. Like if you take long to get ready, then do what you can at night like shower and your hair and things liek that so that you just have to do quick touch ups in the morning. There may be some things you will have to cut out of your morning routine. Try to be in bed by 10:00 at the latest. And like I said,dont expect to feel "fully refreshed" because I've never experienced that one day of my life when I was in school.
