I can understand your frustration. My case is a strange one. I was not born with dyslexia. I had meningitis in my 20's which affected my short memory and language. So I know how it feels both ways. I am in my 40's I was diagnosed 3 years ago. I also suffer from a rare immune disorder I have never been able to drive ( I did pass my test at the age of 18), and it has taken me 8 years to complete my second degree ( Fine art at Central St Martins) with a first in my studio work. I am a mixed media artist, and I am told I am very good at it. I do feel down sometimes because I know I am not like most people around me. i have two kids and its hard not to be on top of things all the time. I find difficult to concentrate and be organized, but in the other hand i am very creative, and use images rather than language to express myself. Before the dyslexia I was a very good writer, now it has taken me over 6 years to write my thesis. Its possible to have a life and in spite of the difficulties you can find love too. Don't be ashamed of who you are. Real love has no barriers!
Good luck to you, I hope you find all the love you deserve.
