Same here, but why does it depress you? The only thing that depresses me is that I can't be doing the work I am excited about. I volunteer at the hospital yet can't touch anything, etc.
I tell you one thing for sure, I truly hope that IF and WHEN I am accepted into MS I will advocate the folks in my shoes.
I wish I could also say that when applying they look at me as an individual and then use my paperwork as a guide, instead of the other way around.
So, why are you depressed, did someone offend you on here? If so, join the club and let it be water under the bridge. Just think, no one can stop what you want to do.
