It wasn't good.
Not only am I mildly mentally impaired, but I am....I don't even know how to put into words. I'm just a mess right now and very disorganized.
There isn't much I can work on until I see my therapist again, but in the meantime I guess I can focus on finding new coping techniques for anxiety, building empathy and working on not being so egocentric.
I'm not sure what I can do about my reckless behavior and impulsiveness.
But, I...can work on social relationships. They just bring me a lot of discomfort. But right now I'm really isolated and I'm not close to my family. All my friends are online...do online friends count as real friendships? I don't know how to be close to people.
Anyway, I will have to find a way to make myself better. I might be able to improve my mental impairments enough so that I can do college.
One thing my analysis stated is that my ability to make judgments is very, very off. I'm trying to keep that in mind, whenever I think I'm making a good judgment because chances are its wrong. Especially about online friends not wanting to be my friend anymore. Things like that.
But since I believe silver linings are extremely important, I'd like to point out my psychotic symptoms are not currently in the picture. And that....knowing all this means something can be done about it. It will be hard work, and long, tedious...it even said so in the report because of my profile, but I'm willing to try. I know my therapist will be on board with me.
In a way, I feel like I'm going back to first grade when I needed hooked on phonics. I need speech therapy. And another cognitive therapy, but I can't remember what it is. Occupational therapy. But if it makes me better? And improves my mental functioning? Absolutely worth it. Would love to get back in grad school someday.
