I got ADD, so without my pill each morning I lose attention on what I'm doing and feel drowsy. My 6'1" height does present some problems in certain desks and chairs(The desk I use which is 30" tall I only have 0.5" of room above my knees). Plus in my first car I had to bow my kees out so my knees would not rub against the steering wheel. That car(2002 Ford Escort) was horrible to drive. I hate my allergies. I'm allergic to pretty much everything airborne. Dust, mold, and pollen are main ones. I've been wearing glasses since I was 6. That's 14 years and I hate contacts. Can't have something that I could easily damage or insert wrong in my eyes. Though the glasses are a necessary evil that I have to use or else I won't have any clear far vision. I also have a slight case of Scoliosis in the upper back so that increases the problems with chairs. I also have problems with zits despite being 20 years old. Though it has cleared up a lot since a few years ago.

1. The fact that I can't hear well.
2. Asperger's syndrome
3. The fact that I can barely learn at all (VERY bad since i'm only 14).
4. "The 3 Year Curse", where every 3 years (it started in 2006) bad things will happen, whether it be in a tragic or personal matter.

Add yet another for Asperger's syndrome, though mine is very minor. I've grown out of it mostly, but still holds me back a lot.

For me it's mini-strokes. 50+ as of my latest MRI and It's really beginning to take a toll on my thought processes. I have lost my drivers licence because of it and I can no longer work either. Memory loss,short and long term, are pretty much toast,confusion,double vision sometimes and I have a black belt in Insomnia!. I've been known to go 80hrs+ without sleep.
Yeah that's my biggest curse right now!..

Brain chemistry doesn't work as it should. I have had 3 very severe clinical depressions so far. And I have to avoid as much stress for a long periode of time or I relaps.
The way I look made my life, when I was growing up, to a living hell. No kidding, it really did. Luckily it's all over now. Kids can be hard for each other when growing up.

Always being busy and thinking too much. The times I do get to enjoy doing the things I want are often shared with running errands and/or non-stop thought.

I'm lucky with my life, but having hypermobility syndrome sucks somewhat.

Oh I used to have that when I was a child. It really did set me back as a child. Though I've mostly grown out of it. I don't have much memory of my childhood because of it. All I remember is a little bit of preschool and some high school. Everything else in between I remember very little of. I know it is a painful process and it's not something that is easily healed.

Forgot to mention, I have an early grey gene which means by 30 I'll be completely grey, I'm 14 and I already have a few grey hairs. Also I have a weak right knee which I dislocated over a year ago and hasn't gone fully back into the socket so it can move about pretty freely :/

My biggest curse is probably how I find it difficult to communicate. Face to face, on the phone etc. it doesn't matter. Things just don't pop into my head in a timely fashion during a conversation, I just can't keep up, my brain doesn't work that way. You could say, I am incapable of thinking on my feet.
For example, if I need to sort something out via a phone call, everything I say I need to script in my head beforehand. Social gatherings can be awkward from time to time too as i'm often far too quiet, and people just assume i'm shy, when it's just my brain ticking over, thinking of what to say. It's not a major problem in itself, but in the past that awkwardness has made me want to actively avoid social situations which can lead to far worse problems.
My brain makes up for it in other ways (intelligence, memory etc.), but i'll always be jealous of those who can articulate their thoughts on the spot.
I like Internet forums as I have time to think of what to say. I generally hate one-to-one instant messaging as people expect you to reply immediately.

Ever since I've started watching football, my team has been relegated after 110 years in the top division of argentine soccer, and our rival team has gone from sucking to winning a championship undefeated, and is four matches away from winning a second consecutive championship (1 match), a local cup (1 match), and the Copa Libertadores (latin american Champions League, two matches).
Beat that!
Beat that!
It happens to the best of us lol.
