Please listen to what I have to say.
I have an IQ in the genius category.
I am 56 years old. I did manage to scrape by with enough credits to get my B.A. in 1977. And, I did manage to work on and off since then. But in 2004, I couldn't work anymore because of a combination of physical issues and mental health issues. I've had bipolar illness since I was a child but wasn't diagnosed accurately until five years ago.
I always beat myself up because I felt like I never fulfilled my potential. My baby sister has an IQ a little above average. She has a Ph.D. in Geology and is a Vice-Chancelor of a major university. However, she has no mental illness.
My therapist asked my to forgive myself for having bipolar. I told her I never felt angry that I had bipolar. After all, why not me? It was only a genetic crap shoot. What I needed to forgive myself for was not fulfilling my potential. The truth was, I was busy doing other things.
They say that your IQ does not determine success. Your EQ determines success. EQ = Emotional Quotient Those who have challenges in the area of emotional stability will always have difficulties the average person does not face.
