hi, im 30 yrs old, married and work with children. i was diagnosed with dispraxia as a baby and have weak muscle tone which i try to exercise...
so my dyspraxia comes out in.. emotions.. when i get to emotionally overwhelmed i cant cope adn switch off. day to day life i manage ok.. yes i fall sometimes i smash things often, have terrible posture, when i walk with somone often bump into someone ... phyically i find it hard to do buttons, bows, cut, iron.. sometimes i need time to switch off, going to hide under my covers.. and of course get tireder then other ppl.. but i sometimes its emotional tiredness. of course my house is not spotlesss.. but i can run my house, cook, bake and yes we always have clean clothes to wear.
does anyone else get emotional overload? i find it very hard to let go of my expectations..

Welcome.

Emotional overload and/or being prone to overthinking and even burnout is quite common.

While it can be viewed as something autistic it can definitely affect those of us who have dyspraxia and/or ADHD too.

I totally get it. I feel the exact same way at the end of the day it’s more about how I feel in my head that really gets me. I just want you to know what you described is exactly what I live through just to give you some grace and a little bit of a giggle. I believe it was the day after Christmas I can’t remember my memories is the worst. My motor functions were shot, and my emotions were all over the place and I went to go open a bone broth packet and because of the state of my brain at that time I didn’t know that I was ripping the package too quick with too much force, and it blew up directly in my face all over my hair all over my silk shirt, and then I went to move back, but the way that I turned my head, I almost smacked directly into the kitchen cupboard. I literally was so frustrated, but then I just started to laugh. This is what I go through when I’m just done. I have so many other stories like this just hang in there choose what’s really important to you and just focus on that and let the other things go my house also is is messy and chaotic. I was reading a book to try and support my husband and his Journey with ADHD and it said something about. It’s not about perfection it’s about. Is it well enough and I’m learning to give myself grace you got this there’s many responsibilities as an adult especially as a parent, I totally feel what you’re going through. Happy new year.
