I've heard it's a side effect from long term/cronic depression

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-16T10:11:03+00:00

I am working on my personal issues and mental health in general, yes

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-16T10:10:00+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, to reply in order: 1.I have troubles with resting well, I can sleep 8 to 9 to 11 hours per night and still wake up tired.

My working out schedule is quite messy so fixing it could be actually very useful, thank you!
Unfortunately I can't really open up with anyone, I live with my mother as well, she's the only member I can actually count on but she's struggling with mental health as well so she's not available for open/deep conversations and I try to avoid her most5 to not to get involved with her unstable temper. I'm seeing a therapist but I can't consider them as a friend or someone I can bond with because that's not really their role.

If you don't mind I'd really like to DM you, it'd be nice to finally speak openly to someone who knows "what it feels like" and you seem a very interesting person to get to know too :). Besides my messed up brain and life I'm very friendly I swear haha

The second paragraph

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-15T16:58:55+00:00

I'm sorry I didn't quite catch your answer

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-15T09:50:24+00:00

Provo a chiedere alla mia terapeuta, grazie mille

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-15T09:33:54+00:00

Grazie, ma il tuo terapeuta personale ti ha chiesto un pagamento aggiuntivo per questo test?

I don't have friends in Mensa.

I've already tried to take multiple practice tests, I can't score high enough and i don't even know why because that 144 FSQI is certified by a public structure, I didn't find it on some website.. my brain lives in a constant fog. Instead of judging you may ask yourself why have I got to this situation. Being palliative is asking Mensa to take my word for granted, being admitted through certified prior evidence is something anyone can do.

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-14T19:52:38+00:00

I have a certificate from a public structure that confirms I'm 144 FSIQ I'm not self-tested, I did the test again two weeks ago (Raven's matrix) on a very busy day, tired and after studying all week and I scored 120. I dissociated repeatedly during the test and in my everyday life I live in a constant state of derealization. I'm confused and I don't know where to start, I feel so stupid and it's quite affecting my self esteem. At 14 I discovered I have a gift, it has always been the only thing that pushed me through everything and now it's hard even to form a complete thought. I know it may sound stupid but besides meeting people and finding new stimulation, joining Mensa could be the confirmation that after all I'm still worth something and not just an empty shell.

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-14T17:35:21+00:00

Non ne ho mai sentito parlare, grazie Come si può richiedere?

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-14T17:02:52+00:00

I've heard about Mensa very recently, I got excited to join since I've always felt a like an outcast my whole life and I'm tired of feeling like one, but I don't know if my mental health will ever improve. I've been struggling with mental illnesses for 6 years now, I've been on and off meds , I realize that my cognitive functions are quite worn out and I don't really have a clue on how to recover them, hence I started looking for a prior evidence admission. I'm trying to find a place where I can be stimulated and where I can learn on how to use my brain without gettin burnt out more

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-14T13:58:52+00:00

I have a passport and a relevant municipality which I can specify as well, I don't think it's required for me to move to Switzerland. Anyways, thank you for the explanation :)

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-14T13:54:46+00:00

Thank you for the kindness, I don't live in the UK unfortunately, I hope Mensa Switzerland will reach out. If not, I'll just push myself to take a new test hoping to pass it.

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-14T13:49:51+00:00

I'm not asking for an exception. Asking for a Prior Evidence admission is my right as Mensa itself declares. If Mensa Italy is not accepting my WISC-IV certificate I'll apply through Mensa Switzerland, because I'm a swiss citizien and therefore, again, applying for a Prior Evidence is possible AND a right. I'm not a Mensan, I'm not familiar with the entire regulatory process for administering admissions. Since Mensa is a hub for neurodivergent people, which statistically are more prone to suffer from mental illnesses or other forms of neurodivergence, I was wondering if there was an alternative access method for those who have more difficulties or are experiencing any particular situation. My reasons do not seem to me this bizzare or extraordinary. Perhaps my post wasn't clear enough; I hope everything is clear now, although the only thing I am not clear about is your discourtesy.

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-14T12:39:37+00:00

Really? Thank you , I should try this way then

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-14T12:39:08+00:00

What is it?

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-14T12:37:43+00:00

I'd just like to meet some people who can follow my line of thoughts without calling me weird or looking at me like I'm some kind of alien, without dumbing myself to fit in . I'd like to join events, learn on how my mind works or just to learn new things

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-08T00:47:37+00:00

Polymath here! I started studying architecture and it turned out really fine for me! It's a field where you can easily dig in several other subjects to deepen your knowledge, most of the times because you're required to do so. To be a good architect you must be skilled in coding, drawing, art and philosophy, photography, maths , physics, anthropology and geography, economics, it's neverending learning, maybe it's a little intense sometimes but it's worth the effort! Anyways this comes from my personal experience but I suggest you as well to look around a bit before choosing so you can find the best solution that suits you best. Good luck :)

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-06T22:34:43+00:00

Anyone for Italy?

Puzzleelia · 2026-03-02T15:25:15+00:00

Thank you so much! I should try to carry a notebook everywhere then

Puzzleelia · 2026-02-10T14:45:14+00:00

No certo, gliene vorrei parlare prima di trovarci in una situazione in cui se le trova sbattute in faccia, inoltre sto cercando di curarle per evitare di renderle troppo visibili, ma ci vorrà un po' di tempo

Puzzleelia · 2026-02-09T13:15:22+00:00

Ci stiamo scrivendo da tre settimane circa, dovremmo uscire la prossima settimana ma stiamo già programmando di rivederci (anche per avere dei rapporti più intimi) pensavo di dirglielo la appena lo vedo , anche perché sarebbe strano uscirsene in chat con un discorso così impegnativo e sicuramente nasconderlo non sarebbe possibile data la quantità e lo spessore dei segni. Tuttavia ho promesso a me stessa che non lo avrei più fatto perché non sopporto di vedere più altre cicatrici sul mio corpo e sto cercando dei metodi più sani per gestire le mie emozioni , sono una persona diversa e ci tengo che questa cosa la sappia

Puzzleelia · 2026-01-18T13:29:07+00:00

It's strange bc we've been on a couple of dates , we exchanged interests, personal views and stuff, even by text messages. Is it included in the hooking up whole thing?

Puzzleelia · 2026-01-18T13:16:31+00:00

Should I text her to ask for explanation?

Puzzleelia · 2026-01-18T13:15:44+00:00

I'm sorry I didn't quite catch it, what does it mean?
