I’m calmer now. Earlier I felt disappointed realizing I haven’t truly changed over the years, and that what I thought was progress didn’t address the core issue. Now I’m more honest with myself. I understand better what’s wrong, even if part of me wanted to believe I had already solved it because that was easier. I also see that I need to take my neurodivergence more seriously instead of only compensating for it by improving everything else. That approach wasn’t fully addressing the problem. What I used to call happiness may have been partly self-deception—times when I wasn’t fully aware of myself or my situation. Now I don’t want to keep lying to myself, but I still need something that keeps me going: some form of hope or direction, even if it isn’t fully certain, because without it moving forward becomes harder.
It feels like life is now showing me all at once that what I thought I had fixed wasn’t actually resolved. At first it was hard to accept, but now I see it more clearly as I enter university with more awareness. Not everything from the past was negative; I still had meaningful moments despite my patterns and mistakes.
The second situation is private, I can’t talk about it, but it was three situations in total that reminded me of past ones.
It’s disappointing, but also clarifying. Even if I face this alone again in this last situation, I now understand what I’m dealing with.
I might be relying too much on coping mechanisms; maybe just one is enough to live in a more manageable way. I have a little affection for those who continue reading about my situation. If there are any, of course, haha

In university, in the situation where I almost didn’t make it into civil engineering, I saw again a pattern I’ve had since I was a child: I can do almost everything right, but a single small detail can ruin or almost ruin the final result, even affecting important outcomes like my admission. It’s something I thought I had already improved, but I hadn’t.
The second situation is private, I can’t talk about it, but it was three situations in total that reminded me of past ones.
After that came the GAVA situation, which confirmed I hadn’t changed. Two years passed where I was supposed to improve, but I repeated the same pattern that started all of this, and I realized I pushed everyone away who actually cared about me, like before.
