Dyspraxia and anxiety

We (Kerry and Phoebe) both have Dyspraxia / DCD and share tips, hints and information in vlogs.
In this chatty video blog we talk about the link between Dyspraxia and anxiety, symptoms of anxiety and some tips for reducing the impact of anxiety.
This vlog is part of a series that has been created to celebrate Dyspraxia Awareness week and one vlog will be released each day during the week 12-18th October 2014.
Kerry is a specialist teacher supporting people aged 16+ who have dyslexia, dyspraxia or mental health issues at Diverse Learners. Contact me to receive support [e-mail]

Thanks for this. I'm Dyspraxic. I'm 29, was diagnosed at about 7. Never really had it easy, especially so as an adult, trying to go about my daily life. I'll give this a go.

Most people will never ever know what it's like to have a neurological disorder. And they can quit judging us.

[@maxmeyer1244]

Thanks this was fantastic and I leaned something

[@veggie42]

I suspect Dyspraxia and already have ASD diagnosis

[@allmyvids400]

I pray that God heals all my neurological disorders now and gives me better ability to handle life events and circumstances. Amen.

Dyspraxia is very tough to live with very tough. It has got worse for me and I have hid myself away. It does have its advantages though I am quite creative and am very patient, it makes you overthink which is truelly scary I don't sleep at night. What I will say though is doctors are really really poor with people with learning difficulties and I hope that improves

Anxiety makes u snappy when u get interrupted, spends rest of video interrupting

[@carolchalker]

Thank you so much for doing this vid. My daughter deals intensely with anxiety, sometimes we really do not know how to share with her. Wonderful video Phoebe and Kerry!

[@phoebepace2066]

I'm glad you liked it, we do these videos so we can have an open discussion with the audience as well as each other. I do believe it's important to talk about anxiety as I felt so much better when I realized I had unconditional support from my parents. Wish her the best and I'm sure you'll great. My blog has some strategies about managing anxiety that could help her :) www.phoebepace.wordpress.com

[@carolchalker]

Thank you Phoebe, wishing you all the best :)! We have subscribed you your word press too.

I have dyspraxia, its a battle everyday to control my anxiety. It's upsetting that so many people judge me or just simply dont understand, its extremely tiring to explain often to people what it is or how it affects me. Prayers to anyone dealing with it

[@njerzynek]

then I will have more energy to create a bigger argument when people f and geff or play loud music on this bus tram! lol

[@lisamariemcgeary1229]

omg so like my ten year old daughter. she is so anxious outside the home. I take her to and from school and she is sick feeling, faint and so upset. she won't even sleep in her own bed. she has an IEP but really she needs more help.

[@DiverseLearners]

+Lisamarie Mcgeary I am really glad this has helped. I hope it makes your daughter (and you) feel less alone.

[@ciaranmartinlennon3560]

Well done 👏

[@FamilyFourExplore]

Can I ask how to go about getting tested for this Please? I am going to get my son tested for dyslexia. Would this pick up dispraxia or would it be a separate test? Just subscribed x

[@Rose-zu6wt]

[@veggie42]

It's hidden like Autism is

[@hmfc0809]

As a learning disability specialist said to me that makes it even harder. And it does, to alot of people I'm just shy. But my head goes round 100 mph
