What's your disability?

Evois June 7th, 2016

I have a learning disability.

What is the most difficult part of your disability?
For me its being slow when my brain sometimes either moves toooo fast or not fast enough and I have to take longer on stuff.

I am hearing impaired. I lost 80% of my hearing.

I have Adenomyosis (similar to Endometriosis) so basically the uterine lining doesn't just coat the uterus but also grows into it, so it's really really painful during that time of the month. Don't let anyone ever belittle severe period pain because that's how most people don't get diagnosed till their 30s! I now take birth control pills to manage the hormone imbalances (I used to have such bad hormone swings that I'd become borderline suicidal the day before my period) and cramps and heavy bleading (look up "Menstrual Cup" if you don't know what it is. it's amazing)

I also have a processing disorder (I read and think slow so I need double time on tests)

And Prosopagnosia (facial blindless) so basically i can't remember whole faces and it's hard to tell faces apart. I have to use cues like body mannerisms or facial features that stand out to tell people apart, which takes time to memorize so i don't remember people after seeing them once. Im also terrible with names so i often offend people unintentionally when i can't remember who they are even after being in several classes with them. I also forget most names after a few months to a year of not using the name, so that offends a lot of people unintentionally

...and then i spend 99% of my time studying to keep a 4.0GPA in an engineering program and people say they envy my life .-.

@ReclusiveReptile

i think what bothers me most though is just not knowing whether im even allowed to feel upset because there are good things in my life that others don't have...

@ReclusiveReptile I think it's totally ok to be upset with some things, but it can also be beneficial to remind ourselves of the things we are grateful for. Just because some things are good doesn't mean that it isn't valid to not be happy about other things in our lives.

@ReclusiveReptile

I often think the same way.,
