It took a month to recover

I've been mentally out of shape for a month because of the stress before and after an English test. I didn't care much about my English proficiency. This wasn't quite a problem for my daily life. The thing I was really worried about was the testing situation. The regulation of the test was too specific for a person with mental illness (even though good enough to go to work every day with some medication and mental support). When the test ended I lay on the desk, and when I was set to leave, the test room was empty. Five minutes had passed since dismissed and all the examinees had already left.

I thought I could recover in a week if I took enough left. It really took a month to recover as not to babble often "I'm going to die".

Anyway the long period it takes for me to recover from strong daily stress is nothing new. Now I just think I'm glad I'm likely to survived this time too.

Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
