i have dyscalculia, and i have anxiety disorders as well. I am currently in the process of QUITTING a job because of their incessant need to make me feel like a second class citizen because of my inability to handle financial paperwork. (i'm a graphic artist with 17 years experience, whose clients brag on).

This company is willing to let me go due to my inability to file PAPERWORK. (i took a client who spent NOTHING with them and turned them into their 3rd biggest client), yet the fact that i can't file the right papers is paramount to them). But, i HAVE to leave. EVERY DAY i would breathe my way through a panic attack. Every day i would feel as if i was dying, my heart convulsing and aching in my chest.

Yes, i have panic attacks, and i'm realizing, all related to math.
