Are you neurodivergent?

@dareme Same. Isn’t it fun?😂

@Ferise1 Yes haha... I actually miss having a hypomanic episode. I've being going between normal-depressive states lately... and I need some of that energy 😭

@dareme I used to smoke a lot of pot and it would make me manic, I would go into town and meet heaps of people and make plenty of friends and talk so much😂

@Ferise1 Thank you for sharing your experience, it has been interesting to read your story too. I'm just scared because when I speak with my family on WhatsApp sometimes I forget the words or I use English words, because I can't remember the Italian ones.
I'm writing a novel in Italian in my free time, but sometimes I have to use Internet to double check if the sentence is correct because it doesn't make sense in my head. Sometimes I even had to check the conjugation of some verbs, because I had completely forgotten them...
Like you, I try to use Internet to keep up with the language, but when I go back to Italy people now assume I'm English (because of my accent) and compliment me for my Italian 😑

@dareme 😂 damn that must be strange. Can you move back to Italy for a couple of years?

@Ferise1 Unfortunately not, because my husband and I work here. I'm also planning to study for a Master's next year, so I'm "stuck" here in the UK for a while 🤣

@dareme okay. maybe try and find some Italian websites and forums. or Facebook groups. And watch Italian movies.

@dareme
Everyone has to double-check their writing, even in their native language, if the writing is something important or we want it to sound intelligent.

We get used to the daily spoken version (which is often sloppy) so come time to do it precisely, we often think, "Wait, is this correct? Is it the best wording?"
