Re: Surviving Valentines Day!!
Why does it matter? All it is is just another holiday for companies to make excuses to make as much money of you as possible. I've been with my partner for 4 years and we never bother with it. Our point of view with this is why do we have to do nice things on this day just because some companies say ...

Re: Growing up dyspraxic?
Well I have a phone appointment next week with a doctor. I think it's a therapist that they're going to refer me to after the phone appointment but can't really remember to be honest. Hoping I will get some help.

Re: Growing up dyspraxic?
Mattie's point about the self-fulfilling prophecy is important. Don't let any of your perceived shortcomings define you, or they will lead to greater anxiety when you are in a situation that forces you to acknowledge them, instead; think of them as parts of you that have more room for growth ...

Re: Growing up dyspraxic?
Calls to helpline shd fall within inclusive minutes but check T&Cs for your packsge. I believe you may also be able to email. Alternatively do you have a friend or relative who wd let you call from their land line? That'd be great if I can email instead of calling. I'd prefer that for the fact that ...

Re: Growing up dyspraxic?
That's a shame. I only have a mobile too so who knows how much that'll cost me. Yeah, I'm sorry if that came out offensive to anyone. I guess because of how people have treated me it's just been put into my head that there's something wrong with me. But you are definitely right about the being ...

Re: Growing up dyspraxic?
Thanks everyone for your replies. I will have more of a look around here and the dyspraxia foundation website to see about getting assessed. Does anyone know if the phone number for the helpline is free? I find it's important to try and maintain a feeling of control but there is so much I/we just ...

Growing up dyspraxic?
I think I may have dyspraxia but I want to get an opinion from other people who have it before I go speak to my GP about this. Here's my life story: During my childhood I pretty much became known by my family as the kid who was always clumsy and day dreaming. I used to day dream a lot and get ...
