Hi, I'm a kid who fell through the cracks.

Got diagnosed with discalculia when I was a sophomore in high school. Throughout the years,

my parents would tell counselors, psychologists, et cetera, that something wasn't right, and it was more

than me being bad at math. It took a really cool teacher I had pushing and advocating for me to get

an official diagnosis before anyone did anything. I understand fully that sometimes parents can be a

pain, but please, please, please.

If a kid is 15 or 16 years old and is stuck at a fifth grade math level, look into it.

People normalize abusive behaviors by loved ones all the time.

Being able to identify your own personal boundaries and then enforce them with others for your own well-being is, unfortunately, not innate.

Therapist here, if you grew up with or currently are part of a family where the whole family

has to work to keep one or more members of the family in a good mood or appeased, that's not

healthy. People are in charge of their own feelings. It is not your job to appease others so that

they can emotionally regulate themselves. Disassociating with friends.

Current friend of mine is having real struggles emotionally and mentally. We're still talking,

but he's been distancing himself from other people. We reach breakthroughs every now and again,

but it's been difficult. Psychotherapist here. Some things I see regularly that could have been

caught earlier before they became a problem, unhealthy coping mechanisms.
