New to forum

Post by Fighter »

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I just recently found out that I have dyspraxia from a occupational therapist. I'm living in Ireland and I am in my mid 20's. Most of my problems are work-related, anxiety and forgetfulness. Due to this I have little confidence in work and get myself into trouble for making 'stupid mistakes', does anyone have similar experiences or advice?

Sometimes hope can be found in the absence of answers. "I don't know" can be one of the most liberating experiences the world holds.

Would you want to know why one person risks their life to help a stranger or is it better just to know that they do?

welcome to the forum Fighter, there are 2 ways I see things, little hope, and no hope!! esp. when it comes to freefalls posts!!! \:D/ (meant as a joke btw)

soz can't give any answers, as most things would be seen as more annoying like if you had stress balls for your hands to do, instead of twiddling your thumbs.

but might look a bit better in another sense, so try asking others which you should try.

maybe even take up playing an instrument!! might sound bad, but you will have everyone else humming a different tune by the end of the week!!! :-({|=
