If the message had been read properly, I said that during my summer
holidays I worked full time(always close to 40 hours) but during the
university year, which I also do full time(ie. 20 contact
hours+additional at home study) I only work about 15 hours...which if
you add up is about 35-45 hours. So yes, I do have
responsibilities...different to yours but I do have them!
Look, I'm not trying to be nasty or anything. I didn't mean it to come
out that way from the start.
I just wanted to bring across another point of view, ie. that sometime
people are so caught up in their endo problems(plus other medical
problems) that it takes over their lives, and maybe for some, and I'm
only saying for some, that the pain is psychological. I know so many of
you have been told "it's all in your head" and I think that's totally
worng...as I've been told the same...but maybe for some it's actually
true!
