Do any other dyspraxic people self harm here?
Sorry if that’s a weird title 😭
I (F17) struggle with certain things e.g understanding instructions, I get easily frustrated when I don’t get something. And I drop things a lot. It makes me feel stupid when I get things wrong. I also am horrible under pressure and I cry a lot. I did make a previous post about my work but at the weekend, I got overwhelmed and I hurt myself with my nails. I guess my boss saw and he gave me a glove to wear. I begged him not to tell anybody and he said he wouldn’t. After that happened the rest of my shift felt unreal and I felt dizzy.
I didn’t want anybody to know.
On top of this, I’m really bad at socialising with coworkers, which I think I stated in my last post, and I overthink a lot. I can’t calm down ever and I’m worried about this because it’s leading to self harm and now people who don’t even know me are finding out I do that.
I have work on Friday, and I know it’s only Tuesday but I have not had rest of mind since Sunday when all of this happened.
Can anybody else relate? I feel so alone.
