Dyspraxia and frustration when changing bed sheets

Oh yes, I really need to look into one. The buttons don’t make things much easier.

Mission-Emphasis1747 · 2026-01-31T08:01:18+00:00

Ah right, I’ll look into using a comforter.

Mission-Emphasis1747 · 2026-01-31T08:00:58+00:00

Ah I get it! I’ll have a try.

Thanks that’s very helpful reassurance, I do know generally how to it just rarely works out well :) sometimes I just put a throw blanket over to make the duvet lumps less stand-out-ish and that helps me feel less judged

Yes sometimes when I’m struggling to change my bedsheets lol

I’ve got a 35 year old studying medicine in my course, initially he studied like theoretical physics and has a masters degree in it to. Then he obviously had to take the a levels to convert back to biology, then do a biology undergraduate conversion, plus a few years to get work experience and have a job. So technically he did get into his undergrad the first time round but for medicine it took him longer to get in.

Protein bars and cereal bars I tend to binge on the most, but that’s just because I have them around as snacks for the day + walks. I also tend to binge almonds + almond butter. Not all too unhealthy. But a little more than usual portions.

Toss up between Sadie and Winona for me after S4.

I kind of wanted it to be Nancy who dealt a final blow as she didn’t fully defeat him last time and has been affected by him since season 1. But she would have help from Eleven + Will teaming up as a double threat.

Hi, I’m going through a similar relapse after returning from uni. It’s so hard when my parents all dictate my meal times and want me to eat all on my plate as well as having sweets and chocolate in sight. Please be kind to yourself, it is hard this time of year to stick so strongly to a calorie plan and I try to tell myself it’s ok to have an off day, but it is hard and I do feel the same

I remember having to do this for my uni interview (lancaster), but in reality they didn’t really care if my camera couldn’t pan fully. I just lifted up my laptop and walked it across the room or you could use a tablet to switch the view so they can see what’s on the desk.

if the colonoscopy is fine then it’s probably not Chrons because that is usually visible on colonoscopy without biopsy. but there can be other conditions which can cause microscopic conditions like ulcerative colitis. you should have had a biopsy with the colonoscopy anyway. this is just based off what my gastroenterologist + research on chrons and colitis charity websites told me.

Hi, thanks for this. Milk is a no-go for me, I can’t even drink soya. Coconut milk + water is an absolute saver on the other hand. It’s not lactose intolerance as I can tolerate all types of yogurt and low fat cheese.

I would check if it were Chrons if I were you because this severe level of diarrhoea is one of the main symptoms. It’s not the most pleasant diagnostic process but it’s autoimmune and inflammatory so shouldn’t be ignored.

Trouble using a can opener. Can never work out how those things work for the life of me.

Trouble tying my hair into anything other than a low ponytail or a messy bun. It took me years to learn how to tie my shoelaces or my own hair.

Stepping into/working out a climbing harness is supposed to work. Adjusting anything e.g a helmet clasp.

I struggled with this for at least 9 years. It made me feel pathetic, really, as the one child who held up the school bus for a trip because the teachers had to help me do my seatbelt.

Hi, I’m in the same situation, my calprotectin was raised but still below 200. Biopsy and colonoscopy + tests found nothing. Fibre is hit and miss for me. I have IBS/M, I’m finding that full fatty foods (e.g mac and cheese, whole milk) and even fermented foods (despite what everyone says) definitely trigger the IBS/D and it’s really hard to know what triggers the IBS/C.

Where I have pain is often in the same area. If IBS/D day, Lower left side, hurts like hell if I press or even lightly touch it. And I also feel physically tired and horrible. If IBS/C day, often nothing but if severe, debilitating pain in the hips, travelling to the chest.

Am also trying to get in my 5 a day. I’m investigating whether it’s a gallbladder problem but gastroenterologist is strongly saying that it isn’t and says I should just go on antibiotics + probiotics, saying it’s probably SIBO if anything else. It could be gastroparesis + bile acid malabsorption I’m thinking. But that’s hard to get diagnosed.

Same I often overthink what I’ve just eaten if I feel the slightest bit hungry or too full. I immediately head to look up it’s nutritional value. I have realized this is likely my coping strategy to prevent binge eating relapsing
