Dyspraxic Adults

I break things all the time. I get really upset when I break things and my partner tells me it's okay but I still feel guilty. I keep knocking my laptop on the floor and I'm afraid it might break. When that happens I try and remind myself it's not my fault but it is difficult not to feel that way.

I can't even brush my own hair. My hair always looks messy and I always have knots in it. I wish I could brush it... I am not very good at washing my hair and I never blow dry my hair. I am okay with using straighteners though but do not straighten my hair very often.

The guy you went on a date with does not sound nice at all.

If you do not want to kiss on the first date that is fine. You are getting to know each other on your first date, and unless you are 100% happy with the person then you don't have to kiss them at all.

This happens to me a lot. Most of the time it is because I am really stressed with university and I have worked really hard so my brain is over thinking and I end up not making sense. I normally just correct myself, and try and slow down what I am saying and thinking.

I think you should give him some time to deal with how he feels and his anger. A lot of the time when I'd get upset my parents would keep trying to come and see me to talk things out but I really wanted to be left on my own. School was really hard for me. I never received any help for dyspraxia. Mos...

I want children but I do worry that I wont be a good enough mum because of my dyspraxia.

I really lack confidence and was wondering if you had any advice (wasn't sure which section to post this in) It is affecting my life so much. I can't talk to people I don't know very well, I start to get shakey and panicy and end up rambling and feeling awkward. I'd love to make some new friends, bu...

I think making a video about dyspraxia is a brilliant idea.

Making a dyspraxic youtube channel would be brilliant as well.

I get so stressed out with time. I am never late.. I'm actually always stupidly early. For example, I was always an hour early, maybe more for where I used to work. It's horrible and I wish I didn't have to stress about it.

How are you finding sewing? I've just started doing it.

Hi Johanna, welcome to the forum.

What crafts do you do?

I love portal (only played the first one) but I have to take lots and lots of breaks because it makes me feel sick, and really tired! I can never work out why, as this only happens in certain video games.
I get very stressed out playing them, I do like playing them though.

Why don't you try exercise DVDS. I prefer them because I don't have to exercise in front of people.. plus the more you practice with the dvds, the better you'll get at them.

Hey welcome to the forum!

TV shows that cheer me up are The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh, Gavin and Stacey and Black books.
