This is me. Writing gave me so much anxiety in HS and I really should have started keeping a journal or something but I didn't. I devoured books as a kid but still I struggled with putting ideas on paper. Once got so upset at a boyscout event where I had to write an essay for a merit badge that I threw up.

I can write a comment or even effort-post just fine, and I can type 100 wpm, it's just something about structured writing that makes me feel Ill.

Sure, because these are things that meaningful and worth the effort for you.

it’s just something about structured writing that makes me feel Ill.

It's probably because the topic is contrived, the assignment is meaningless, and the point is filtering out people instead of education them.
