☆Misdiagnosis of Gifted (empath) Children/adults (⊙.⊙(☉̃ₒ☉)⊙.⊙)
Disability Support / by HealingLotus

...See more (Just a note, when I say gifted, I really mean being an empath, psychic, energy sensitive etc. Even though the article doesn't say it. It's our truth.) I wanted to talk about an article I was reading. I've thought a lot of things about myself, and tried to find out the reasons I am the way I am and act the way I do. I feel like I had thought similar things to what normal psychologists may think, however I think I was wrong and they maybe too.When I think about it, it makes a lot of sense. I know I'm gifted. I know I'm different than other people, I just didn't understand it and I think it's been hard for others too. It's hard to understand people who are different. When children are born special, they don't always fit well into how society has formed things to be. This can create problems and difficulties in the gifted child. I know there are a lot of gifted children being born into the world, and I do believe there are misdiagnosed and confused gifted adults here! However I can only speak for myself. The big thing about being different and gifted and what throws a wrench in the diagnosis process, is they don't take in account that we are different. That our personalities are different, that our brains work different. "Gifted children — and gifted adults– often are extremely intense, whether in their emotional response, intellectual pursuits, sibling rivalry, or power struggles with an authority figure. "These ideas come from an article that I will link at the end.I feel strongly for what I have read and it's really struck a cord inside of me. I originally found the article when I was looking up "Conduct disorder", because I felt I have or had that. and then the article came up. I remember reading that indigo's have had problems with authority as well. I just don't think our culture is able to handle such a change in children. I don't think our culture knows how to let children be an individual. There's a chart i wanted to paste in here, but the table itself wont format. So I'm going to color coat it. It's positive qualities vs the negative outcomes of them in child/adults that are gifted. It's basically how things have gone wrong in us, but is from good traits. We must all learn how to go back to understand things from a positive prospective and not let people bully us around and say there's something wrong with us.So positive is going to be teal and negative is going to be red.   Acquires and retains information quickly. - Impatient with slowness of others; dislikes routine and drill; may resist mastering foundational skills; may make concepts unduly complex.Inquisitive attitude, intellectual curiosity; intrinsic motivation; searching for significance - Asks embarrassing questions; strong-willed; resists direction; seems excessive in interests; expects same of others.Ability to conceptualize, abstract, synthesize; enjoys problem-solving and intellectual activity - Rejects or omits details; resists practice or drill; questions teaching procedures.Can see cause–effect relations- Difficulty accepting the illogical-such as feelings, traditions, or matters to be taken on faith.Love of truth, equity, and fair play - Difficulty in being practical; worry about humanitarian concerns.Enjoys organizing things and people into structure and order; seeks to systematize - Constructs complicated rules or systems; may be seen as bossy, rude, or domineering.Large vocabulary and facile verbal proficiency; broad information in advanced areas -  May use words to escape or avoid situations; becomes bored with school and age-peers; seen by others as a “know it all.”Thinks critically; has high expectancies; is self-critical and evaluates others- Critical or intolerant toward others; may become discouraged or depressed; perfectionistic.Keen observer; willing to consider the unusual; open to new experiences- Overly intense focus; occasional gullibility.Creative and inventive; likes new ways of doing things- May disrupt plans or reject what is already known; seen by others as different and out of step.Intense concentration; long attention span in areas of interest; goal-directed behavior; persistence - Resists interruption; neglects duties or people during period of focused interests; stubbornness.Sensitivity, empathy for others; desire to be accepted by others- Sensitivity to criticism or peer rejection; expects others to have similar values; need for success and recognition; may feel different and alienated.High energy, alertness, eagerness; periods of intense efforts- Frustration with inactivity; eagerness may disrupt others’ schedules; needs continual stimulation; may be seen as hyperactive.Independent; prefers individualized work; reliant on self.

Disapointment, confusion then hope and inspiration.

...See more ( I don't know if I'm allowed to write here since I'm a listener: :(.. )   I find it ironic how much pain I've been in today. It's been a pretty bad day. Worried about ratings, unsure if I'm being a good listener, thinking about the worst possible outcomes of things. Just feeling paniced, hurt, down sad and out. Not fun. and so then I was thinking of changing my profile picture and updating my profile since it seemed like it needed a brush-up, when it hit me.  It's in these down times that I find myself reevaluating things, thinking things over, rethinking my goals and rethinking why I'm even here. and when I did that, I slowly worked my way up from feeling terrible, to actually feeling inspired. I feel like I had forgotten so much of what made me, me. My spirituality, how I wanna be a light in the world. How much I want to strive to do big things and live with purpose. It seems before I knew it, I had lost my inspired spark and passion here, and got run down and confused.  It's not an easy thing to be a listener, it's a huge reponsibility and a large amount of work. and since I'm new, everythings confusing, I feel a lot is going wrong for me. I feel like a down and out victim and not a surviver. I feel like I don't matter and that people can push me around, much like I have always thought, all my life. but it's these low times, times I'm really not feeling good that makes me wonder, "hey wait, I am worth it" I am worth people's time. I am good enough. I start to see that the things I was worrying about just didn't make as much sense when I valued myself.  My worst fear is being banned for a stupid reason, or people conspiring against me or something. Not the most realistic fears, but they plauge me. Because I care about being here. I work hard here! I give of my time, my effort, my emotional energy. I give everything I have. So I am very invested. But I suppose what it all comes down to, is seeing my negative emotions of pitfalls as a reevaluation time and a time to grow. Because in the end, everything is going to be ok, and I don't want to live with a bolder crushing me all the time, it really hurts.    I wanna set up to the point where when I feel bad, i'm not totally crushed and lost. I wanna get a handle on my depression and other disorders. I want a better life for myself, and I wont give up.

I've been going through some problems with my relationship and she just helped me to sort it out !! 😊
Was quite compassionate and understanding about my situation. Understood that I just needed someone to vent to and stayed with me until I felt better. Would talk to again.

Very helpful, great listener didn't ask anything too much and I felt very comfortable
So nice
Has listened through-and-through each session. Able to help you find the root of your problems related to (in this case, anxiety) , and potentially even solve them. Great to talk with about stories that require a lot of detail. Will always be willing to hear you out.

Sakuraflower is like chatting with a friend. She helps me calm down, rationalize my thoughts and know that I am not alone with my struggles. Very helpful and a great listener.
Amazing Person, Made me feel at easy.I will be talking to her again.Very compassionate person.
Thanks for talking to me! While this chat did make me feel better, I am aware of my agency over my own life, in that I still need to solve the issues that are making me feel this way. You seem to somehow understand me well even though we're mere strangers XD thank you again, and good luck with more conversations!
Amazing listener
Very good listener. Was concerned with how i was feeling and very patient with me. offered great insight. Looking forward to chatting again.
Sakuraflower is an amazing listener. She is very helpful and so much fun. She has a great sense of humor. She always makes me laugh. It is very difficult to find such a great blend of empathy, kindness, and humor in a listener. Talking to her reminds me of sitting back comfortably in a chair over a nice cup of tea with a best friend and just chatting. She makes me feel very relaxed and supported at the same time.
Sakuraflower is a great listener. I love the personal messages (pm's) that are waiting for me just to see how I am doing. It makes me feel so special, loved, and supported. Sakuraflower genuinely cares about members and is a great active listener. I will definitely talk to Sakuraflower again. :)
amazing.
It was great just having someone to listion to me, my problems..... It was great having someone to understand.
Sakuraflower was really helpful in making me feel calm and sort through what was on my mind and it helped me in pinpointing the issue and getting some perspective. I commend her for doing this by being really friendly and approachable and without giving imposing advice. An extremely good listener, it felt like talking to a friend.
amazing
excellent person, really helped clear a lot of anxiety 10/10 would talk to again. hope i get to let them know how everything ends up and can still talk to them!
Sakura continues to be an inspiring listener, and one of the rare people who has been to able to help me understand my particular issues. She uses a great deal of empathy as well as drawing on her personal experiences to communicate, which is very helpful.
She was by far the best listener I have met! She was professional and kind and shared her experiences. She even helped me think through some things.
Very helpful! Great listener!
Sakura was a great listener. She helped me a lot, asked what I needed from her and provided it. She cared how I was feeling, if I was alright, and was making sure I was in a healthy relationship. I appreciate her help. Thank you Sakura.
She is a very helpful and empathetic person, I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to speak with her. I certain struggle with severe depression and other issues but I feel that I gained some insight that I can use in the future. I would definitely recommend her as a listener and also think she would do well as a counselor in general.
So awesome such a great listener I look forward to chatting again
I needed some genuine help with a certain issue and Sakura was there for me. Sakura is empathetic, professional, and very warm. Sakura is also very personable which I really loved. It was like talking to a friend. I will definitely talk to Sakura again and highly recommend listeners to talk to Sakura. The only problem with Sakuraflower is you will fall in love with talking to this little blossom! I definitely want an entire garden of Sakuraflowers to take with me wherever I go!!
MIss Sakura was kind, compassionate, and very helpful in my time of need.
Good listener, sympathetic with academic-related anxieties.
Was very empathetic once I started actually articulated my feelings. Very helpful and encouraging!
She really helped me understand that the things I'm feeling are normal and that I shouldn't rush into things or downplay my feelings. She was really great!
They are very compassionate. They really helped me to feel less alone and listened to. I really feel better than i did when i came on. I thought i was being silly but They made me feel like I deserved a sympathetic ear. thank you.
Sakuraflower helped me a lot, made me feel like i wasn't alone in this, explained me that there's hope even if it seems like there isn't. And that there's always someone there for me, someone who actually cares.
