I am doing things differently and getting the same results. It makes absolutely no sense. What is the sense of trying to crawl out of the hole when it seems that everyone person I know just wants to throw dirt on me and bury me? I just want to give up and say to hell with everything.  |
I'm 58 and have suffered like this for my entire life. What I finally found out is I don't make good decisions because I have a very low working memory and a very low executive function. I don't have enough working memory to store all the necessary and useful information I need to make good decisions. Also, I am not able to process, organize and use the limited information I do have (In other words I don't have the mental ability to remember information and make good decisions). Maybe you should ask your primary care doctor to refer you for some Adult ADD and/or Onset Dementia testing. By the way this doesn't mean you're retarded and it doesn't mean you can't succeed. It means you must learn to understand your personal (mental) limitations and that you will need to study harder, try harder, work harder and fight harder than everyone else around you in order to achieve the average, minimal things (that come naturally to most other people). It sounds to me like you're a fighter. Good Luck.
