0:00.0	Hey, deserving listeners. So many of you have contacted me or talked with me and told me that after
0:08.4	listening to an episode of this podcast or listening to a different podcast or just reading
0:15.0	something online, that you suddenly discovered that you had a mental condition, that you have been dealing with your
0:24.8	entire life, but just never had a word for it, or you were ashamed of it, or you were denying it.
0:32.3	And then all of a sudden, you realize, wait, this is a thing. I have a thing. I have borderline personality
0:41.0	disorder. I have avoidant attachment style. I, well, even more broadly, I'm a victim of
0:49.7	abuse. I always thought that we just had a mildly conflictual relationship, but when I
0:57.3	realize, you know, learning this information from this outside source, I'm suddenly realizing

1:45.6	specifically, but it doesn't really matter. But since then, I've been discovering new aspects
1:52.5	of my dyslexia, things that I've always known about myself, but just never attributed to dyslexia.
2:04.9	And in the last few weeks, maybe in the last week, I've made huge discoveries, just all of these connections to my life, all these seemingly
2:12.1	unrelated difficulties and shames that I have about myself are in all likelihood related to this genetic
2:24.0	neurological disorder called dyslexia that I have. And I've been saying I have mild
2:30.0	dyslexia this whole time, but I don't know. And here's the other thing. I thought about doing a deep dive on dyslexia and dyslexia this whole time, but, but I don't know. And here's the other thing. I thought about doing a
2:35.9	deep dive on dyslexia and related learning disabilities, but I thought instead I would make an
2:45.1	episode when I'm at this point of my discovery, because I think that there's a lot that can be explored about the
