I'm definitely late to finding this site, but I have to tell you, reading this was like reading a case study on my own life. Dyscalculia? Math was torturous for me, still is. The idea that everything disappears when you can't see it? My life exactly. Paying attention to everything ALL AT ONCE? Gads. There's me again, too, everywhere I go, which is one reason why living in the quiet countryside has made my life 100% easier. The drugs that took me a step down from my life, sheltering me from the chaos in my brain is also a big YES. I nodded, chuckled and dropped a few tears from reading this, and am glad that you've found what works for you.

Your voice is strong. I’ll need to read this a few more times because you pack a lot into your writing. I’m happy to have you in my life. I learn so much from our differences. You make me laugh and think and question - it’s all so good.

I’m wondering if you’ve tried picking up the clarinet again? I can’t read music, that shit’s confusing. But I sure appreciate hearing live music being played. Please keep writing.

Oooooh! So good to hear your voice in long form again😊

I'd love to know more about the dyscalculia/ budgeting thing you mentioned on FB a while back. Thats a huge struggle for me.

I wish I had advice! I don't know if I'll really figure it out until there is actually enough money, ya know? And thank you. I wasn't sure I still HAD a voice.
