Re: Social habits and addictions

I have used many drugs... Though I don't think it's something to brag about, I don't regret the experience...

Hi from London

Hi, I'm 26, female, living in South London. I was diagnosed with dyspraxia when I was twenty and doubt I would have gone to university if I hadn't been diagnosed. I used to think I am stupid until the diagnosis and these days, I am learning ways around my barrier. I have had a lot of trouble in ...
