Read it doesn't mean speak it

Although I can understand pretty well English texts, it's really hard for me speak it or write it.
Today my boyfriend needed help with an English text to know how to use a program. I wasn't sure of my skills, but it turned out fine.
I was impressed of myself, I've the expectation of do it terrible.
In a scale from 1 to the 5, my skill to read is maybe 2, 3 with luck. But if we talk about how do I speak, it's a terrible 1. My pronunciation is clumsy but I get it sometimes with simple sentences, for example "Hi, how are you?. What do you think about the food?. I feel so uncomfortable hearing "that person" talking so rude. Your English is pretty well, I'm sure you can do it better"
Despite this, my skill to write is less than 1. It's like my brain collapse saying "I'm out, good luck".

As a future psychologist I understand that we use different areas of our brain to do different things. So I need to "exercise" this part to get the habit and do it naturally.

I talk about this because I feel insecure. Every time I write something I have a bad feeling. It's like someone screaming "I'm scared! I'm not sure!"a thousand times.

People is nice here, no one laughs. But I can't delete that feeling from my head. Talk about it is a good way to share something in a healthy way, get out the feelings and reflect about it.

Why do I want to be psychologist? Because a psychologist changed my life. She did it in the worst moment. And I want to do it too. I want to help someone as she.
Why do I want it if I have mental problems? Because I can understand some things. I said to myself many times "No ones understand it!", but if someone say it to me, I'll say "I understand what are you saying, it's terrible but you can do it". Cheer up people when it's hard cheer up myself. I can put a happy smile and a sweet calm voice, just for it. But inside I'm broken, working on it, but suffering.

Sometimes people say that I talk about it "to be a poor victim. A poor glass child trying to call the attention". But I don't. I want people know and understand how is it. That they can remember and reflect about mental problems, recognize it and understand that isn't normal or okay treat that way a child or other people.

This is a safe space where I can post something and learn at the same time. It's like a open journal maybe. So, I can write what I want to, this freedom is nice.

Your English is quite good, I'm sure you can speak better than this.

Despite this, my skill to write is less than 1.

Others might think that I'm just not trying hard enough (which is not true), but even then my writing skills are less than 1.

It's like my brain collapse saying "I'm out, good luck".

It's like my brain turns around and says "I'm out, good luck."

As a future psychologist I understand that we use different areas of our brain to do different things.

So I need to "exercise" this part to get the habit and do it naturally.

to develop this habit/ to adopt this habit

I talk about this because I feel insecure.

Every time I write something I have a bad feeling.

Every time I write something in English, I feel bad.


having a bad feeling about something example:

I had a bad feeling about leaving the house that day.

"a thousand times.

It's as if a voice inside my head is screaming repeatedly/ a thousand times: "Help! I'm scared! I'm not sure!"

People is nice here, no one laughs.

But I can't delete that feeling from my head.

But I can't escape this feeling
But even then I can't shake this feeling
But even then I can't get rid of this feeling
But even then I can't stop this voice inside my head.

Talk about it is a good way to share something in a healthy way, get out the feelings and reflect about it.

Talking about it (anxiety) is a good way to offload some of our burdens in a healthy way. It allows us to get our feelings out and to reflect on them.

Why do I want to be psychologist?

Because a psychologist changed my life.

She did it in the worst moment.

And I want to do it too.

And I want to help others like she helped me.

Why do I want it if I have mental problems?

Why do I want to treat others when I have my own (fair share of) mental health problems?

Because I can understand some things.

Because these days I feel that I understand mental health problems better. I can relate to others with mental health problems.

I said to myself many times "No ones understand it!

no one understands it

no one is he/ she/ it form
(I feel like) no one understand me
no one understood me at that time
He feels like nobody understands him
He felt like no one understood him

I understand
you understand
he/ she/ it/ no one understands
we understand
they understand

", but if someone say it to me, I'll say "I understand what are you saying, it's terrible but you can do it".

But if someone were to tell me about their problems, I will say "I understand what you are saying, it's terrible but you can do it/ overcome this.

Cheer up people when it's hard cheer up myself.

I can cheer up other people even when it's hard for me to cheer myself up.

I can put a happy smile and a sweet calm voice, just for it.

I can put on a happy smile/ brave face and speak in a calm voice, just for it/ in order to be of support to others.

But inside I'm broken, working on it, but suffering.

Sometimes people say that I talk about it "to be a poor victim.

Sometimes people say that I am playing a victim when I open up about my insecurities/ anxiety/ depression.

A poor glass child trying to call the attention".

That I'm a fragile child seeking attention

to be an attention seeker --> that I'm just being an attention seeker, that I don't have any problems.

But I don't.

But I'm not.

I want people know and understand how is it.

I want people to know and understand what it's like.

You can use an expression here: to walk a mile in my shoes

I want people to know and walk a mile in my shoes because.... e.g. that way they may understand mental illness better.

That they can remember and reflect about mental problems, recognize it and understand that isn't normal or okay treat that way a child or other people.

They can be educated and reflect upon mental illness/ mental health/ mental problems, and come to recognise that it's not normal or okay to treat a child that way or other people.

to treat can also be to let a child suffer in silence this way or other people

This is a safe space where I can post something and learn at the same time.

It's like a open journal maybe.

It's like an open diary maybe

So, I can write what I want to, this freedom is nice.

It allows me to write anything and to feel some freedom/ relief at the same time. This freedom is nice.

Feedback

Well done!!! Please remember to be kind to yourself. You're doing a great job. Please keep trying and studying. Studying when depressed and/ or anxious is very hard but you're doing it, and you're nowhere near as bad at English as you think. You'll see that all your hard work will pay off soon. Take care of yourself.

In Spanish "impresionada de mí misma" and "impresionada conmigo misma" are right, in English is only "with"?

I feel so uncomfortable hearing "that person" talking so rude.

If I want to talk about someone without saying the name I say "that person".
It was an example.
In Spanish: "Me siento tan incómoda escuchando a "esa persona" hablando tan groseramente"

I enumerated simple sentences.

I use collapse when I'm talking about something that get's over the limit.

Is Quite better than pretty? Is pretty good an option?

You can say pretty good but not pretty well in the sentence you wrote. I think you're confused because someone told you that saying "I am pretty good" should grammatically be "I am well," but in the sentence you wrote it isn't like this.

So, just remember that when someone asks you how you are, you should say I am well, not I am good (however people do say this, including many native speakers).

Then there's another confusing part to this, I hope the examples help:

For example, I speak English well = correct ; I speak English good = wrong
your sentence is doesn't have the "I speak" part.
His English is good
Your English is good
He speaks English well
You speak English well
He is good at speaking English
You are good at speaking English

collapsed isn't really used for things to do with your brain.

Collapsed can be used to describe your physical state after doing something that made you tired or something that made you very very sad and/or shocked. A common expression that uses collapsed is " to collapse in a heap." This means to fall to pieces.

An example:

Upon hearing the news of her friend's death, she collapsed in a heap.

yes, I understand your point. I think esa persona might work a little differently (I don't speak Spanish, sorry :( ). Because if you say that person in English, it needs to be clear who you are talking about. If "that person" is a general person, then you say "a person"

For example:

Friend 1: The lady who works at the shop is very rude.
Friend 2: Ugh, I hate that person.

v.

Friend 1: I get sad when people say bad things about me.
Friend 2: Don't worry about what a/ another person might think of you.

In Spanish "impresionada de mí misma" and "impresionada conmigo misma" are right, in English is only "with"?

"impressed with" or "impressed by" or "impressed at" are all correct but it depends on the sentence.

But it this sentence, it is impressed with.

I think this will become clearer over time. It really depends on the sentence.

Here are some sentences in Spanish to show that it changes:

The "ing" still as my weakness. Thanks for it.

It is confusing, actually.

Some more examples of these types of sentences:

Just because you're singing a song, doesn't mean you're happy.
You will not lose weight by eating fatty food

I feel so uncomfortable hearing "that person" talking so rudely.

Who? You can't just suddenly say "that person" when there is no context. Again, this does not really make sense following what you already said.
