I, F, 20, have Dyslexia. I have lived with it my whole life. Just so people know, I get decent grades: A's and high B's; I am Captain of a team; I work with community services; and I am a part of a sorority-like group. My major consists of heavy reading, and nobody knows I am dyslexic until I tell them.

"But you read so well!"

Yeah, that's not how it works, lmao. 😂

HOW DO I EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE HOW DYSLEXIA WORKS IF I AM ONE MYSELF BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE WITHOUT IT?

I, F, 20, have been experiencing autoimmune issues and hormonal issues. I'm scared to go because I feel like the doctors are going to gaslight me, saying it's allergies. For starters, I've always had pretty bad seasonal allergies growing up, but everything got worse around 2022; I was beginning to become exhausted, break out in rashes, be light-sensitive, etc. Just gets way worse. For years, my doctors have been telling me it was just allergies until, in 2025, we found out I had antibodies. My friends who are in nursing and my family believe I have some other autoimmune disease, which I don't know of. I'm scared because for years they told me it was allergies. Although my labs are okay, I still feel the pain I do, and it's very real. I have hit rock bottom. I often think it is in my head. Is there any advice you guys can give me?
