Don,t ever remember having too much trouble at school though i couldn,t spell very well ,had bad grammer and i couldn,t do maths especally my times tables. Have got a really bad sense of direction don,t know my left and right.Bad memory ,forgetting where i was on holiday, conversations,faces,stories i,ve read films i,ve seen ect ect Dispite all this i hold down 4 jobs 2 cleaning jobs, a nanny job and a nursery job.Nanning sometimes hard as i,ve to do there homework with them and they make fun of me if i can,t do it(nicely they,re not bad kids like some i,ve looked after)and at the nursery can,t always remember things to tell there mums they,ve done or take in everything thats going on around me. Have always had trouble making friends feel like i live my life in a bubble with me on the inside and everyone else on the outside.Trying to please everyone all the time never being able to say no.Never feeling good enough always trying hard but not seeming to get anywhere Was with my ex 20yrs he was always putting me down and telling me how i,d never be able to cope without him.Left him 5 yrs ago .By myself now trying dating again ( mainly internet)Have met a few people but dates seem to last less than an hour then they walk out.Don,t seem to be able to hold a proper conversation( words come out wrong)or be able to look them in the eye. I aways thought dyslexia was about reading and writing not all this other stuff how do you all cope?As i said i,ve been digonised a short time so don,t know what is the dyslexia and whats normal.Will stop my rantings now thanks for listening [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Help Author: Christina [Edit] Date Posted: 20:59:38 05/04/08 Sun Hi Nicole, I am 31 years old and I was diagnosed in my early 20's with dsylexia although I've never really talked about it or shared it with anyone b/c I've always been ashamed. It stems as far back as elementry when my father was trying to help me with a math problem and called me stupid b/c I got I confused and transposed numbers. Then when I graduated highschool my parents told me I wasn't "college material" so I've always been so afraid to even try to go to college. Thank you for giving me hope that it can be done. I know how you feel b/c my life has been a roller coaster and I'm always blaming someone else and upset b/c people are so quick to judge so I don't have many close friends, I've never really felt like I could let anyone in b/c of this secret I've been hiding for so long. I hope my message to you makes you feel better and know that your not alone. You've come so far and your an inspiration, so thank you Nicole for making ME feel better :) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
