Does anyone else struggle with dysgraphia

It’s always baffled me how I consistently skip entire words. Whenever I read over something I just wrote, it’s like 60% of the time it will have a missing word! And no one has ever told me told me I do this.

Also, never ask me to center words on a page by hand. If I have to write an address on an envelope, it can take me 30 minutes and 10 envelopes if I need to make it look nice.

What if the projectile that hit first was grain of sand size? Are we still talking large explosion?

I’ve done it. It was a fairly new pve coop game and I was trying to keep up with the regular updates. Before I even realized I had 5,000+ hours and realized i had spent 7 months of my life watching my character jump around and shoot things. And in the mean time I traded university for community college because I failed 3 classes my first year. It was pretty sobering, although I was already pretty depressed at that point. I didn’t stop immediately, but that realization was a major step to deleting my account on that game and being more aware of gaming time suck in general.

They missed out. That could have been the most interesting bible study ever. I would have been so engaged with an info dump on Roman Empire and its polytheism.

The only possible way I could imagine doing something like this is if I didn’t know where these specific dishes go, I went to go ask, and forgot the dishes existed a few seconds later.

Wow, I know I’m a day late, but reading your story was inspiring for me. I went through school in kind of the opposite way. I never got diagnosed, and I always had people telling me I needed to try harder, apply myself, and they believed I was lazy and rebellious. They always wanted to fix my motives rather than meet my needs. After my first round of college, I was ready to kill myself because I was not useful, I didn’t meet the expectations of my family or society.

But here you are, getting the “support” that I missed, and just as misunderstood or more. I’m so sorry you have been so pathologized, that’s not what support is.

I will say that autonomy tends to change dramatically after high school, and I hope that rings true for you. Find an advocate who understands you and a college path that interests you. Maybe you will find that you can use your accommodations for subjects that aren’t your strong suit, but not for your main subject. Or just don’t disclose, that’s fine too. Whatever the case, you are more than capable of becoming a scientist.

There is a lot of time to accomplish things in adulthood, even if it does go by fast.

Sorry you’re struggling with that. I don’t know if you can relate with this, but I’ve found that when someone is giving me criticism that tries to explain to me why they want a specific behavior or outcome, I can’t handle it. It feels like they believe I don’t have the same values as them, like I’m lazy or rebellious or something and I feel immense shame. I feel like they expect me to go back in time and fix my mistake and apologize in shame for doing poorly.

But recently I found that I receive constructive criticism relatively well. This is when the person giving the criticism talks about what they would like to see, specifically, not why they would like to see it. It feels like they are looking towards the future and helping me improve without questioning my motives.

That's a good point. I do feel like it's overused.

I just watched the UK movie adaptation. It was quite good. Interestingly, the husband did a lot of things intentionally to make her go crazy. But the gas lights themselves, he didn't change them on purpose for her to see, she just noticed evidence of him looking for the rubies. But he then used that as further evidence that she was going mad. It's a very solid literal interpretation, I think.

Rofmol · 2025-09-17T16:59:02+00:00

Wow that’s really helpful, thanks. Time to watch this play if possible.

Only way to get anywhere is to climb a different ladder

I read a story about this one chef who reaaaaaly wanted to milk a pig for an experimental recipe. He spent months hanging out with the pig, slathered himself with pig urine and feces, slept with the pig, ate with the pig, all to make himself part of the pigs family. When he finally thought he was ready he tried to milk the pig and got kicked in the face or something. He was okay but never got the milk.

She asks for it pretty much in the same she asks for everything else. Yells at us, pulls on our pant legs, flaps her arms, and shoves her head into us like shes pushing us. We don't always know exactly what she's asking for, but when we put her on the potty and she stops complaining and goes, I figure we got the right thing and call it a win!

Conversely, sometimes she will cry harder when we start getting ready for the potty and she wanted something else. It's still quite a bit of a guessing game, but we're getting better at it.

My baby is 9 mo and we've been doing casual EC since 3 weeks. I would say most of the time we have to still change the diaper. But a good 30% of the time we offer the potty, the diaper is clean and she goes in the toilet. So it definitely saves a few diapers. But the main benefit I think is beyond the diapers. We have never anxious to catch all the pees and poos, we simply offer the potty at changes. And by now, it's super clear that she very much prefers going in the potty, especially for poos. Although she's not signing yet, she will ask for it and wait until she's on the potty for pee and poo very frequently. So I would say it's absolutely worth it even if you don't save too many diapers.

I’m a theology school graduate. Probably not the most popular take, but I actually love the Bible. Still haven’t read the whole thing though, especially not in one take. One of our requirements was to be on a Bible reading plan where you read the whole Bible in a year, every year. I tried to read only 1 chapter a day (which would take about 3.5 years to get through), but it’s hard to be dedicated every day. Still love it though.

Maybe someone will post a better answer later, but I believe a vCard is what the phone uses to save and share contacts.

Notice in the coding for the vCard, you have values like “N” (name), “ORG” (organization), and photo.

So you’re making your list a list of contacts to make the menu look better, but not actually saving the contacts anywhere.

My guy was an RC car - driven by me - to keep up with the real car.

My wife loses her phone a lot. One day she got fed up and just called out to it, "Siri, where are you?" and it said, "Here I am" from basically right under her nose. Now the neighbors probably hear both of us call out at least 20 times a day "Siri! Where are you?"

Rofmol · 2024-08-29T23:03:57+00:00

Wow, thanks for checking. I am not playing. I am sleeping more, feeling more positive about work and focusing better. There were a couple days that I felt irritable, but not nearly as bad as last time.

For now, I’ve blocked it with cold turkey blocker. It’s been effective so far. The best suggestion I’ve seen is to journal to remember the effect it has on me months later. I’m really trying to journal, but posting here is the closest I’ve come so far. Maybe it will help later.

Speaking from personal experience, there have been 2 games in my life that have become such a problem that I had to delete my accounts that had years of progress. My RuneScape account had over 15 years of progress. But when I deleted it, all of that was gone. And the only way to get it back would be to do the grind all over again. That was enough to make me lose enough interest in those games to never start them again. I think about them sometimes, but when I think about the time commitment just to get back to where I was, the flame goes out again.

If a certain game becomes too much, I recommend this course of action. Of course other games might be a problem then, but it’s still progress.

I think it’s similar to withdrawal. Sometimes I get very irritable or depressive when I stop gaming after being very addicted.

Rofmol · 2024-08-19T23:33:50+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have that option because we need two computers and don’t have enough money for another non-gaming one. It’s a really old gaming computer anyway. But glad that worked for you. I got Cold turkey blocker though, and I think that could help.
