...See more sometimes when i try to learn things i won't be able to understand it properly and it feels like "understanding" is under a glass wall i can't get into. how do others live with their learning disabilities? what therapies are used? do you know if theres a name for difficulties like mine? its not dyslexia and i dont know if its any of the others dys- ones, its more abstract and applies across different areas of learning i didn't know that my struggling wasnt normal for most of my life but now i want to learn about it.

...See more today i took a bowl out of my room that had been there for a lot of months. it had clove powder mixed with water on it it was pretty caked on. then i washed it with a scrub brush, hot water and detergent. now it has returned to the dish rotation :) recently i have been doing some cleaning of my room until i reach my limit, which is actually very low, but im focusing on doing it often enough that i dont slide back into not doing it! things like routines intimidate me a lot so interpreting it like this brings a great weight off my shoulders. i'd feel guilty about taking a non standard approach but i try to remember that guilt serves nobody and that i like seeking new ways to do things anyway. acknowledging a struggle i have and picking it apart to figure out why, and attacking it with that knowledge seems to work for me i also tried dancing and had fun with it. its good for getting your heart rate or sweat to increase if you only have a little space or dont want to go out to run for example. i started with the stick bug dance then started moving other parts of my body if i felt like it and i got more comfortable and ended up moving a lot :D also i think i will try to eat some chicken today so my body will feel better. meta: so i guess i just treat this whole thread as my diary? (separate threads for separate entries is no?) whats the diff between a diary and check in? have a nice day
