I’ve thought about this before. All this talk of resilience, bouncing back, standing strong, etc seems so… empty. Of course we’ll do all that after something devastating and traumatic. But that is thanks to our biological drive to survive and reproduce, not some innate, higher ideal that only the ‘strong’ among us possess. The whole point of human progress is to evolve and thrive beyond being resilient to traumatic events which shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
Shit. I hope you get a proper diagnosis, if needed, sometime in the future.
I AM TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED TO SAY THIS, but has this been a problem for long? Silly mistakes in math have been a staple of my academics, only before I was diagnosed with ADD. I’m on medication and it helps with focus. Don’t know about the math stuff because I’m pretty sure I’m done with all exams in my life.
Damn, same thing here. Except that I had moved out to study from a good university, but had to come back because I didn’t get a job. I have ADD and suspect Autism as well.
Implying I had control? I’m slowly coming to think i don’t.
