No, I haven't been to the doctor yet and probably won't. I'm one of those stubborn people that only go to the doctor when something really bad happens (ie coughing up blood) and have to be rushed to the ER. 🤣

I actually laughed at the part where you suggested contacting my instructors. Last semester, my classmates dad was admitted into the ICU and was on a ventilator. All the instructors knew, yet I was sending her all my assignments, quizzes, and exam notes so that she could pass. He eventually recovered, but then her brother passed from cancer not to long after. Our clinical instructor told her that she could not go to Michigan for his burial so she told them that she was going even if it meant she had to be dropped from the program. It was only then that they changed their minds. This program is brutal. They don't care what's going on in our personal lives.

As far as help, I left that in NY LOL. My boyfriend was helping me a great deal but now that I'm in TX I'm left to fend for myself. I have been through worse though so I will manage. Plus, I have my friends on here to lift me up too! 🙃
