Thanks.
It is still very frustrating to watch other people do things so easily.

Well I don't really know what my IQ is......but from what I gather I am quite intelligent. I have to say though it does not seem to do me much good over-all. I couldn't think my way out of the ptsd, depression or anxiety and those things interfere a lot with my functioning......In fact part of the issue is my brain is always going I always think about things and analyze things and then get even more frustrated and anxious about them.So yeah I don't really see myself as 'gifted'.


Sweetleaf, the bold section describes me to a 'T' . I actually started a thread about it over in the Work section because it's affected me to that point.
I have only been on here six months or so and your posts have shown you are quite insightful Cool Smile .
I am certain you are intelligent/gifted or have an untapped talent.
Perhaps, like myself, you have not found your "niche" in life. Maybe we should create one Wink Smile .

*Spoken with a Yoda voice* A tough thing, this mortal coil is, mmm?........... chin Very Happy
Sorry, I couldn't help myself lmao Nerdy .
