Do you think I might have a learning disability?

[Anonymous]

I don’t know if it’s anxiety, adhd or something but I have been called slow a lot in life… people even avoided including me and just had a certain attitude towards me.

Sometimes I struggle with understanding. My biggest issue is directions! I don’t really drive a-lot due to my high anxiety but I still feel like I should know my way around! It’s so embarrassing.

I really struggle with getting around town and freeways

i feel hopeless. I feel like I want to die

Even though there are some things I’m good at.. I still feel inferior and shunned

How about instead of asking a bunch of unknowns, just go to a doctor and be tested to see what you have. I know several kids who take medication for ADHD and it helps them quite a bit. Before they were pretty bad in behavior and could get mad at times. Now they are more mellow and, as long as they stay on their medication, their behavior and attention has vastly increased in school. The teacher is even commenting on how well they behave now. So, it is worth your time to look into it as you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

I just wanted to connect and see if anyone was going through something similar

[Daniela1982]

They may, you never know. If I had it, I wouldn't be advertising it on here, that's for sure. It's like depression used to be. If someone knows you have it you will be passed over as they don't want to deal with it.

What?

How am I advertising it? The last sentence … uh okay

[Daniela1982]

You said it in the very first sentence.

Ask doctor.
