Thank you for those words 'emotional anxiety'. Thats exactly what it was. Many people look back on their school days as the best times of their lives. I look back in horror and wonder how anyone could enjoy them! I struggled every step of the way with trying to hear, being ridiculed by both teachers and other kids, trying to keep up, trying to fit in, and dealing with a year by year declining hearing loss. I had the hearing aid in the wrong ear! Ugh! I'm glad I don't have to go to school anymore :) Cheers Robyn I HATED school for that same reason but never could put my finger on what it actually was.
