For a lot of dyspraxics and people who struggle with anxiety, having confidence and self belief in yourself is something which is so much more of a challenge. I’ve often been told that I need to have more confidence in myself and to think more positively about myself. It’s so easy to compare yourself to others and not feel good enough and over analyse every tiny mistake and failure you make. But it’s so important to remember that we’re all facing some sort of battle or challenge in day to day life. I think if you experience bullying or other not nice experiences in life, it can have a huge impact on how you see yourself. Challenging and changing those negative thought processes into more positive ones is something so much harder, it’s not easy and can take a lot of time. It’s something I’m still working on and hope CBT may help me with, but everyone is different it’s about finding what works for you. I recently got given some advice is to when something positive happens or you face a fear, try and remember it and hold onto it when you next have a challenging situation come up. This is all easier said than done, it takes time, and something I’m still learning. But you’re more than your struggles and your labels, everyone has something that they are good at inside them even if your mind tries to convince you otherwise.
The last few months have been quite a challenge for me anxiety wise, and I just wanted to say a little thank you for the little bits of reassurance, it means so much.
I still have quite a way to go managing my anxiety, but I’m looking forward to but still understandably terrified about a new chapter in my life and hopefully getting the help I need. I recently faced quite a challenging situation applying for a new job and although my social anxiety was in overdrive, both thoughts and physically I found out last week I got the job, so some good has come out of a difficult time.
My own experiences have fuelled these blogs and I hope if you’re reading this it gives you a little bit of reassurance that you’re not alone. As I sit here writing this, with a bruised chin and knee after a fall over the weekend, if you as prone to accidents it’s not just you. One thing I hope from these blogs is people get is a sense of realness, sometimes they might not be the most positive of blogs but that’s a reflection to the world we live in. But there’s also positives within it, and people who understand, and when you’re dyspraxic there’s never a dull moment. Life can be a struggle, it’s not all all rainbows and sunshines, you just have to hold onto that little bit of hope, and that things will end up ok and this too shall pass.
