I was never a normal and was tested, IQ tested foury years ago in the 1st grade, when they saw the I was above normal, 124, they were just stumped. I look back at my childhood and today they would say mild autism or ADHD or both. In my late 20's I was put on ritalin and immediately knew, "OH, this is the way normal people feel like". ADHD and GAD is what my stuggle with but my lack of emotional control is what had the most destructive effect on my life. I've matured emtionaly and things are falling into place in resent years. I think the depression comes from being so overwelmed day after week after month. Not a true depression a people places and things depression. Anxiety is partly habbit at this point, patterns carved into my brain, I've been rapidly covering over the past 3-4 years at a rate that seemed like a developemental milestone
