How to handle anxiety, stress and depression now that I was diagnosed?

I was told when I was in outpatient treatment that I have a cognitive learning disorder. I don’t learn by seeing or reading (instructions), I learn by doing. I thought that was “normal”, that everyone was that way. But it does explain a lot. I give myself a break now and try to explain to people, especially if training for a job, that I learn by repetition.

Hi. I have cognitive impairment disorder and it affects my speech. There are several ways of learning besides reading and hearing. I agree. I’m glad that you’re able to cope and adjust. I’m still learning skills from my speech therapist.
I’m also glad that you’re still able to work. I would love to be able to do that one day. Take care.

How great that you discovered something new about your learning style, @hraka13. That helps you to understand yourself better, and I like what you said about giving yourself a break now. Self-understanding certainly can lessen anxiety!
I appreciate you sharing!
