Honestly, I have been way too warn out, stressed out, burned out, tired, depressed, and busy to really have any projects going. It feels like I pretty much just sleep, work, and doom scroll on my phone. A lot of that though is from trying to deal with the results of trying to have an SO (never again) and trying to do homesteading while trying to pursue her dreams with her.
Yeah, it definitely is a strange experience being “Gifted and Talented Learning Disabled” as the school system labeled me. The school system didn’t know what to do with me. It was certainly weird being partly mainstreamed (a mix of SPED and mainstream classes [including honors classes]).
I would genuinely prefer to have an average IQ, or even slightly below average, if it ment I didn’t also have the disabilities I currently have. I literally had physics books as bed time stories as a kid. yet when it came to the end of high school; I was discouraged from applying to a 4 year university (despite my grades), because of my disabilities and and discouraged from going into STEM. The rest of my extended family all have advanced degrees and impressive career and there there is me, who can’t even function well enough to live on my own.
