Learning Disabilities, YOU, YOUR MEMORY,and Mental Health

[Guest_128]

Hey to you,

Recently I forced myself to do a two day first aid course,the first 90% was hands on and I had so much fun,making everyone laugh,challenging the teacher with questions(she hated me) and seriously being interested.

The last 10% was multiple choice,no dramas easy as,there was 18 people in the class ranging from 15yrs-68yrs.

I was the last to leave!

I read and re-read a lot of the questions,they didn't make sense,she hadn't said anything about these questions I thought. Some I was positive I was correct. 20min after the last person had left,I handed my test over. XXXXXXXX WRONG She then read out a question that couldn't get,bam just like it was nothing I answered with the correct answer. What the go????

She passed me of course.

My family were so proud of me. Yip pee I was not!

That night I typed something different into google, LEARNING DISABILITIES (I was always typing memory loss)

OMG !!! The flood gat s opened,This is me there talking about.

Anger fell on me,why didn't anyone tell me?

Some things that make me believe I have a learning disability.

I can't remember,people's names,friends,relatives kid names,holidays ,time frames,books,the page I just read,passwords,movies,doctors,emails,perfume,phone numbers,words to songs or who sung a song.birthdays,number plates,licence numbers,when I saw people last,how old my parents are. How to get the emails up on main computer,spelling is very bad. I have lived at this house for 5yrs,I can't temper house phone or post code. ETC

What your experience on Learning Disabilities and Mental Health??

Banjoman, you continue to amaze me with your strength and determination to learn what you are.

People who do not respect you and what you are doing, well they are not your mates that is for sure. You are one very remarkable human being that is showing an incredible level of courage and application.

With fighting depression and literacy at the same time, just be aware that some days are better than others and if you are having a bad day where nothing seems to be working, just be kind to yourself that day. It is perfectly okay to have a chill day or a day where you do not attempt to learn something new. It is about letting your brain rest for that day or even a cple of days if necessary. You have many years ahead of you so missing a day or two of learning will not hurt you.

Keep going, you are doing so awesomely well and thank you go keeping us up to date on how you are going.
