Oh boy, this is quite a painful subject for me but I want to tell my story. I left school at 16. My goal? To do absolutely nothing. Just staying at home, playing videogames, eating and withering away. I had no friends, no support network, nothing. Then, at some point, I developed a weirdly rebellious nature and started reading books and listening to music like crazy. I developed a good knowledge of both literature and music, especially the latter, I started writing reviews, though that always felt like a chore, but it was oddly satisfying at the same time. Then, at 27 years of age, I decided to give school another try. I had to study the whole course by myself, with no support, with the goal of taking an exam with all the other younger students at the end of the year. I failed. Horribly. I couldn't focus, I couldn't even see why was I studying. It was hell. The great, genius-like image I had of myself crumbled. That's why I decided to go to a therapist in the first place. I've tried approaching many subjects since then: social sciences, photography, drawing, nothing has worked. I keep asking myself: am I an idiot? I have a very good vocabulary, speak three languages and I know a lot of things, though nothing in depth. What am I supposed to do? I suppose this is a cry for help. I'm so lost.

Thanks everybody.
