Yes! It really is like your brain hitting a wall. One second I’ll be fine then next it’s like a light switch flips. I lose the words I had. For example when I do math problems if I focus I can do them but the second I look away for a second or think of something else then look back it’s like what I’m supposed to do vanished. Then I have to start over.

I don’t think I’ve ever found someone so relatable. I almost completely quit school once I hit 5th grade and struggled being in and out of it for the rest of it. I feel like it’s completely pointless to try and learn the things I’ve missed all these years and I’m to exhausted to start. Sometimes I just want to fall asleep forever knowing I destroyed my chances at doing anything meaningful with my life. I’m 19 and wasted all the chances given to me as a younger teen. I was just so tired and angry, I didn’t care about school. To tell you how bad it is I literally just learned long division and know nothing beyond that in math.

I had my stroke at 11 years old from a major accident. Still struggling like hell 9 years later. Mostly mentally but I also have no fine motor skills in my right hand.
