What the hells wrong with me
Quote | Reply
Ok, lets narrow that focus way down, otherwise .. oh shit this is the lavender room... this thread is going to go in the wrong direction.. Anyhow...

Been a self diagnosed slightly dyslexic person all my life (P's, B's, Q's 6's 9's or circle and sticks as I call them when printing often cause a pause and thought before writing)

But now particularly on this forum, I am finding more and more I type words that sort of sound like the word I want (last 2 examples good for could and shelf for chef) .. WTF... why does this happen.. the inner workings of the brain is amazing... and yes I hear the words in my head that I want to type - probably explains the sounds like effect when typing.

Full disclosure I hate english (see my sign. line) as a kid I told my mom about an outdentition on the wall cause I couldn't think of the word bump. Seriously though if indention is a hole why the hell is outdention not a word meaning bump... God I hate the english language.

It's all relative, when you've worked with people who have had strokes or traumatic brain injuries that's a little bit, a real little bit.

now I feel bad about pointing out your funny typo.
Last year I inadvertently mis-typed a single letter and that changed the context of my post making it sound racist.
We all have brain farts. If you have some mild dyslexia, you just have a greater rate of cerebral flatulence. Ain't no big thing.

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

My youngest daughter has a similar problem. It really messes with her school work, especially math. I am glad to see you have a sense of humor about it.

Just to make you feel a little better, it's "What the hell's wrong with me" a contraction of hell and is, not a plural hell. :)

Coming up with words like that is harder than pulling teeth.

Point of contention:

Canadians don't say a boot. We say a boat.

Get it right.

What the hell is wrong with me?
I'm not who I want to be

I'm crawling up the wall

I've posted about my own memory issues around here before

To sum up:

I've suffered seven concussions in my lifetime [so far]; first at age 10, perhaps, most recent in 1990

A friend of mine suffered a mTBI [mild Traumatic Brain Injury] from a slip in the tub, and shared this TEDx

How a brain injury made me smarter: Ann Zuccardy at TEDxPhoenixville

Over the last year or so, with more than a couple stories coming around about CTE [which may be not only linked to acute head injuries, like a specific concussion, but also repetitive smaller traumas that may or may not result in a loss of consciousness, or even "seeing stars"] I am more cognizant of how long it takes me to remember things that I used to know at the drop of a hat [people said I would have KILLED at Jeopardy!, and I even had a try-out, but stage fright shut me down]

I was a writer for a while, and now I struggle with "what's that other word for ... oh, yeah ... 'encompass'"

I'm also more attuned [got it!] to my mood swings, which I've always had, but sometimes get WAY out of proportion for the situation

All that being said, the one thing i MOST regret forgetting [if I even knew it at all] was that girl's name

I would not be lying if I said that I still think about her every day ... OK, every other day... twice a week, minimum
