...See more Season's greetings fellow tea drinkers. I hope you've all had a wonderful and peaceful time over Christmas and Boxing day, even if you do not celebrate the holiday.  So, I really wasn't sure whether to put this underneath anxiety/work/relationships since this issue contains all three. As a bit of background, both me and my long-term long distance boyfriend live with our parents and family as we cannot afford a place of our own. He is doing well in his workplace and suggested that I try working with him. Basically, I lost my job in August and have since then been wondering if I should move in with my boyfriend and see about getting a job with him at the other end of the country, or if I should stay at home and save up my money until we can both afford somewhere to live.  I'm more or less erring on the side of staying at home for a while whilst I work on my anxiety issues. I'm afraid of finding a new job as I feel as though I'm going to be rubbish at it or it might make my depression/anxiety worse. I have a learning disability that affects how quickly I can understand and perform tasks. I've been called slow and simple before, and I can't say I blame the people who have said this to me as it takes me much longer to do the work regardless of how hard I try. :|  Something else that is bothering me is the fact that I'm oversleeping. This never used to be a problem. I have two alarm clocks set up, and I've even placed them away from my bed but I will still walk over to them and turn them off! I now always wake up at around 11 or 12 AM. I try to keep myself busy throughout the day by walking the dog and doing housework. I don't have any friends nearby but I do talk to my partner and friends who live far away, as well as family obviously.  If you're still reading my rambling thoughts, well done lol. I'd love some advice or even to know I'm not alone in these thoughts and worries. Thanks for reading.

...See more Hi tea drinkers, I would like to hear your thoughts on the situation I'm in. My job ended in August and due to numerous reasons (which I may cover in another post) I haven't fully decided what to do yet. I'm scared of taking up another job as I've had mixed experiences with all the other jobs I've had, such as feeling as though I'm too slow mentally, to panic attacks before a shift starts and moments when my anxiety gets the better of me. Oh and as for job hunting? Either my nerves get the better of me or end up being hopelessly depressed and think about how I can't do anything.  Outside of the issue about work and job hunting, I have so little motivation. It definitely isn't down to laziness as I'll do house work, walk the dog, clean and tidy etc but otherwise I feel like I drift through the day. I spend time with my family and talk to my partner and friends who live at the opposite end of the country but otherwise I've lost my passion for things that I used to enjoy such as writing and drawing.  I just keep thinking: I don't know what I'm doing, and there are other people who can write and draw better than me so why bother?

...See more I am not active on Facebook by any stretch - I created an account on there so that I could keep up with my family when I lived away from home for a bit. My friends are not on there either, as we keep in touch through other means. Anyway, I am part of an introvert community on there called Social Introverts when I heard about this site and clicked the link. :)

Dyscalculia
Disability Support / by Ketsuki

...See more Hello everyone! c: After reading the other posts in this forum I was inspired to write a little about my own learning disability, dyscalculia, which I was once deeply ashamed of but have slowly learned to accept and embrace.  What this means is that I, as an adult, really struggle with numbers and this also affects my memory and hearing. I didn't learn to tell the time or count change until I was eighteen, and even now I double-check and often ask for help to make sure I've got it right. I struggle to grasp time which leaves me with whole hours that can slip by unnoticed and if I have an appointment for example, I would have no idea how much time I would have in-between. I always get my left and right mixed up and can easily become lost and as for directions or following a map - I lose track of what has been said because my mind can't seem to keep hold of all the information.  I want to echo what others have said, in that people with disabilities should not have to face discrimination and be defined by what they cannot do. If given the chance we can blossom and share our unique gifts and perspectives with the world. If anyone has any further questions about Dyscalculia I would be happy to answer them as best I can. c:
