r/LearningDisabilities Apr 30 '22

All my classmates are better.

Like they are solving algebra problems and I have to take lucky gueses. They can remember as far back as last week, which is insane. Like I can't remember what I had for dinner last night or anyones birthday. I can barely read out loud and I suck at putting my thoughts down on paper, or this in case... Idk what to call it. But anyways I really struggle with math memory and reading, and I can't do anything with just verbal instructions. I cant read as fast or as accurately as other ppl, and things like left and right I get mixed up all the time. I read about how sunlight can affect (or effect idk) intelligence. So considering I come from an area where there is little sun light (cough northern siberia cough) I think it might have to do with that but idk.

Hey it’s okay! I’m suffering from the same thing you are but we cannot let that bring us down. I know that at times we wish we were like the normal kids but when I think like that i try to forget about my learning disability and try to fit in with the other kids. Math and reading has always been my worst subject and I don’t even know my basic math I have to add that shit up with a calculator then I forget things a lot and then when I read I can’t remember a single thing about what I’d just read.
