Trouble with putting my “thoughts” into words
I was recently diagnosed with dyslexia at 26, which explains so much about my life.
For as long as I can remember, I have struggled to describe situations, express myself properly or even advocating for myself is usually a big struggle of mine. Needless to say it’s a major issue in my adult life… and because of it i often get into the position of being unable to effectively defend my perspective. Unfortunately, some people notice it right away and take advantage of it, which has put me in serious, even dangerous situations.
Just this morning i had to call the police and i could not formulate/find the right way to describe what was happening exactly even though i was physically in danger… I feel stuck of how ineffective my brain is when i have to put my thoughts into words and i really need to find a way to get better… how do you deal with this?
