Hell yeah it can. I seem to forget the most obvious little things, I forget everything. Then my brain is like, 'oh ****' which causes my heart to race more. before I know it, escalate. this is when I tell myself. STOP. HAULT. start over. Thats life.
easier said than done, I am still trying to figure it out. I know i have to accept being different than most. VERY VERY VERY different. It all goes together.  no income and all the college debt still glad I went. study all that cool stuff . I learned stuff, Its cool, between health ed and psy, i understand stuff about stuff. E-mail if there is anyway I can help or just get **** off your head
