Day 05

I thought about ending my own life after 8 months of harassment by the ex-girlfriend of my then boyfriend, who somehow convinced an entire faculty and staff that I was cruel, needed a psych evaluation and deserved no respect or privacy. This was after I was picked apart in a staffing because both reslife and admin folks were too caught up in students’ lives, and during the time I was trying to salvage my academic record via a lawsuit with a teacher who threatened to kill me “academically and physically” because I was finished sitting in his office for hours at a time listening to him gab about every crazy thing he’s accomplished in his life, but aforementioned ex-girlfriend was more than happy to take my place.  I’ll also throw in there that this was when I was getting a letter a week and multiple phone calls a day from someone that shipped off to Iraq as an EOD because “I thought it would make you mad and you’d have to talk to me.”

Now it’s laughable, but that’s a time when I felt pretty terrible.  With a lot of help from my friends, right?
