Unable to make plans, which, as I was involved in moving house, quickly became a nightmare. Fortunately, this phase is now in the past. I found that keeping things as simple as possible, and writing down what I wanted to achieve, and how, helped me through a tough time. Talking to a professional is your next, obvious move, if that is why you feel you should do, but know you are far from being alone in this!

Being articulate doesn't make you smart. Politicians are some of the most silver tongued beings around and most of them aren't what I'd describe as the brightest bulbs in the shop. I'm easily the stupidest person I know, I test well but I always say the stupidest things, I believe the stupidest things, and any time I make a decision it's the stupidest thing I could do in any given situation. I always make the wrong choices because I'm such a moron, I'm a disgrace to my potential and a failure to myself because I'm such a moronic mess of incompetence. I think I'm mentally challenged because I can't be this much of a dolt on my own. I read, I research things on my own, I learn on my own free time, and I'm still such a clueless bafoon.
Lastly I don't feel comfortable getting professional help. It was very hard making an account here, boring all of you with my trivial trite issues. I don't feel I can discuss the nebulous complaints of a well off kid to a professional who, in all likeliness, is going to correctly believe that I'm just another dumb kid who needs to man the hell up but is too much of a crybaby to do it.
