Returned after a few years, been lucky enough to in a local support group which I found from here although it has been quiet since covid.

Tell your employer!
I danced the danced of telling my work and not telling my work for months, but I have never been in a better place work wise... in soo long since I did. I told my boss and lucky for me they are soo understanding and has done more than the speciialist mental nurse to try and help me! Where as the spe...

Re: talking and short term memory

Re: Being clumsy
Far too numerous to remember them all, but I once ran into an iron post in the dark whilst supervising a group of kids who were night orienteering!!! I was winded at the time but seemed to get over it quite quickly. About a year and a half later I went to my doctor complaining of pain in my breastb...

Re: Being clumsy
Does anyone else constantly fall down stairs? I used to think it was because I wore heels but no one else I know seems to do it. I once fell down 2 flights of stairs after going to the canteen for lunch. Despite being cut and bruised my lunch survived and I ate it once I cleaned myself up! ah I'm s...

Re: NHS or private assessment?
Hi Tim , Thanks for the advice , wow that is quick! I think I'll wait on my appointment but if I get some crazy waiting list to be assessed I will be quite tempted to go private/ assessed for work . As much as I hate the thought of being assessed at the moment my anxieties are causing me a lot of st...

Re: Being clumsy
Oh man I've got some stories - I find that its actually good to have a little chuckle about it now and then! I'll tell you one of my best. So the first one is from when I was at a summer camp. It was late so it easy quite dark, and I was the only person around at the time (or so I thought). I came ...

Being clumsy

I managed to fall off my Mirco scooter , rode my bike into a metal pole fence...(the bike was more damaged then I was thankfully) a...

Re: Sleepless night
I get a awful nights sleep when I'm highly stressed, I can go to bed early but my brain will tick over a million miles a hour. I don't really remember dreams but when stressed I kinda day dream not properly asleep about not being to sleep. So I have in the past stayed awake silly hours so I'm super ...

Re: NHS or private assessment?
Hi Tom, Firstly can I just say thanks for getting back to me so quickly in what I assume is your free time and so in depth. As if people get asking the same question all the time would drive me a bit mad. I'm hopeful the Nhs can help me but no holding my breath, having read quite a few threads on he...
