Hi Ruth
really sorry to hear you speak about your self as a loser, stupid and inept, these words clearly don’t portray you. You have managed to get an MA and are aware of you considerable gifts. So why have you come to such a dismal conclusion about yours self.
I have sat where your sitting now i do understand i’m also dyslexic and have had similar experiences of school as most dyslexics. So believe me when i say that its is only your point of view that is causing your distress, change your view point you change your experience of life. Sorry if this sounds hard or even simplistic its not, it takes hard work but here are a few tips i hope will help you to understand that you have the power to change your experience of life for the better.
Use your abilities to read people and will see and you must know that people have issues that block their progress in relationships, work, education etc there are lots of single women out there that have failed relationships, broken marriages, pining over that one that got away and this as nothing to do with dyslexia, it is the default position human equals issues.
The mistake i made and others make is that we mix up having dyslexia and being a human being with issues and it all goes in the same pot, but it all gets blamed on dyslexia, if your dyslexic. The work that needs to be done is to unravel dyslexia from the rest and deal with each issue in its own right.
Your dyslexia is only a small part of the whole of your wonderful life, think about for minute it if you did not have dyslexia you would not have any problems? all your relationships would have worked out? you would be happily married now? because that what happens if you don’t not dyslexic, as if.
I can’t keep writing i have to stop know but i give you one example from my life that demonstrates my point, i was so ashamed that i could not spell (i still can’t) if someone asked or even started to ask “how to spell” i would go blind with fear and i mean literally blind my sight would go all i could see was white and i could not tell if i was upside down or not it was that bad. now if someone finds out i can’t spell i could not care less, i know who i’m, and just because i can’t spell less dose not make me any less of a person.
By the way did you know that to be diagnosed a dyslexic you need to register higher than average intelligence, if you don’t have an high IQ than you can’t be dyslexic. So your smart remember that, good luck with your journey i hope that you find pace with your dyslexia, i personally will always choose to be dyslexia because of the wonderful gifts it brings and i enjoy everyday. All the issues i have I’m working thought them one day at a time lol. Good luck..
