knowledge

Have anyone experienced #OCD -related to your own #intelligence , like

(i) "I don´t understand all I´m #Teaching ",

(ii) "I might be dumb or way less smart than I thought",

(iii) "I dont understand this or that which is taught when we are kids",

(iv) "I´m not intelligent as I thought cause I think I don´t understand trivial things and I start to think about the reason behind some basic #knowledge , like i was learning it for the first time" ?

I used to be proud about my career and #academic achievements, and today I sometimes doubt about the things i teach, about being the intelligent person i used to be proud of, or about being capable of understanding very trivial knowledge I was taught (and used during a great part of my life) long ago.

#PTSD

I have started reading a lot lately and it’s a great distraction and passes the time when I would either be asleep or bored.

I’m looking for book recommendations.

But not those generic books about depression, inspirational quotes, being positive, or anything that says anything religious is the answer.

I really prefer non-depression themed books although they might have some depressing parts. And please no books on a “healing diet”, naturopathy or aromatherapy or food and exercise suggestions.

Please help me out! TIA

Anyone dealing with rare disease would probably agree...https : //themighty.com/2019/08/study-internet-rare-disease-diagnosis/ #RareDisease #Research #patients #knowledge

I have added something new to my coping toolbox recently. I was diagnosed Bipolar || 13 years ago. I started reading books about bipolar and other issues I have run into. Once I am done one I want to read another. I will continue to do that. It’s proven to be very helpful :) #BipolarDisorder #Anxiety #Depression #knowledge #Healing

#Treating an #Undiagnosed #illness is like swimming for the surface when your lungs are about to give out. #BloodTests , #Cultures ... on paper you are fine, and yet you’re obviously not. There is #power in a name. There is a plan in a name. There is #Hope in a name. There is a #future when you know what you’re dealing with and you can begin to #Breathe again. Until then, we drown in #Copays and #Confusion ; #Pain and perplexity. Someone is going to figure me out, and I will consume the all-refreshing breath of #knowledge , and the #Potential that comes with it.
