how do i carry on chating

Hi peaches8

Yes i have had problems since a far back as i remember. I had difficulty making friends, i was shy.  I was picked on at school from the first day of nursery to the last day of secondary school.  I was put in dummy classes even though I could read and write.  I am very good at drawing animals.  I have had many many jobs, 36, I've been sacked 13 times because of making the same mistakes over and over.  I don't grasp things quick i need to repeat for a long time berfore the 'penny drops'.  I have had 3 mental breakdowns since i was 24, the last one was just too much i could not go on, I needed to know what was wrong with me.  I have had extensive tests lasting 4 months, also counseling and anti depressents. 

I have had trouble with relationships, although i am very happily married now with a very loving and patient husband! I have a child, now 25 from first marriage at 19. Finally got told by my neurophyschologist that I am bordering dyslexia, and have frontal lobe damage which effects my short term memory and working memory. ' I just see the world differently to other people'.  He cannot diagnose a specific condition, as my results were all the way up the scale from 'dummies' to 'genios' he has never seen such results, and my over all results were above average.

I don't really have the answers I am looking for.  It is very hard to explain things to people.  I say things as I see them, and always seem to have a different opinion.  I take things people say the wrong way and when i try to be assertive I can sound rude, but don't mean it. 

I have fallen out with every single neighbour i have ever had, and my husband is fed up and wants to move to where we have no neighbours at all!  Suits me, I like my own company anyway.  Cant fall out with anyone that way eh?

9!
