Look, I know I already made a post about this here and it seems like I fixed it, but I kind of didn't. Someone on that post commented that I should just read with one eye closed and that should fix it, but I failed to mention that it just doesn't make sense... Mentally.

I'll read a sentence and it just won't make any sense to me. I can recall a time where this happened and it was a sentence along the lines of "She was taking out the trash." Or something like that, and I remember it just didn't make sense. I know I already said I don't think this is Dyslexia in the last post but I'm kind of starting to think it is.

I do this thing with numbers where say it'll be a number like 76 and I'll think it says 67. I'll read it as 67 and think of it as 67. This happens a lot and actually fucks up my math grade sometimes If I don't catch myself. I also have trouble pronouncing names or words as well which I believe is a trait of dyslexia.

I also do the following frequently:

Difficulty summarizing a story. Difficulty doing math word problems (hence, reversing numbers and thinking sentences don't make sense.)

I'm going off of a Mayo Clinic "Symptoms of Dyslexia" website in teens sooo.

But I'm not a doctor and I'm kind of iffy on self-diagnosing 'cause it's like.. Taboo I guess? Again I'm not even entirely sure it's Dyslexia.

I know, two posts in one community in the span of 24 hours is a lot, perhaps irritating but I have a lot of problems.

You may not have seen my last post, but I have severe OCD and Depression.

I have trouble not touching people. Whether it's messing around with my brothers or just being touchy. I've had two people in the span of two days tell me to stop touching them and it's increasingly awkward and embarrassing. Ironically I myself hate being touched by anything or anyone and have haphephobia.

I need to stop fucking touching people. Does anybody else do this or know any ways to prevent it?

Again, I'm really sorry for posting twice in one day, it's rather odd.

This happens sporadically. I have severe OCD and Depression, and I'm uncertain if it has anything to do with my mental illness. I've suspected I have Dyslexia for a long time, perhaps since I was eleven years old.

I'll read a sentence, and it just won't fucking make sense. At all. I'm not sure as to why, I'll keep re-reading it but it just won't make sense whatsoever. This happens a lot when I'm reading or studying. It'll be an immensely simple sentence, but it just won't make sense, sometimes I'll stop what I'm doing because it gets so goddamn frustrating.

This happens with numbers as well. I'll look at a number say, 76. And I genuinely think it says 67. I don't know what this is. If anybody sympathizes, I'd love to discuss it.
