What about your life? Put yourself in the shoes of others.


Think about how your life is now, what you happy with, what your sad with, what needs to get better and how you feel you need help and support.

People with disabilities mostly need help with everyday skill, for eg; cooking, washing, ironing, shopping or and etc. Just like all of you each and every one of us is different, we are good and not so good at different things to think about how you would make life easy for us and support us.

How can you compare your life with the life of someone with a learning disability?


On whole people with disabilities are a bit slower to understand things but different people in different ways, how would you make their life easier or and support them?

Poetry page . 2017.

Fighting with my mind.

Every day I fight with my mind, it's a case of taking one day at a time.
Forty old years I have been fighting with my mind, which is near enough all my life.
I smile, I'm grateful for my life but it doesn't mean I'm always fine.
Now that I'm older I live with my feelings and emotions and try my best to accept the way life is.
At one time I would cry but now I don't do it like I used to.
No problem I have is going to get the better of me.
I know it's easy to say to others just get on with life but I won't, I was there once and I haven't forgotten, I just now cope with it in a different way than I used to and never tell others how to cope. 11.10. 17.

It's been over a year since I wrote poetry.

It seemed so long ago yet now as long as it seems, it's like I forgotten how to write.
I have forgotten how good it feels to type.
Now that you are out of my site and out my mind.
Never thought I'd be back to me again living my life.
I don't know how I ever thought that you were my type.
Hard to believe getting over you was such a fight.
Like a long sleep and a long nightmare of my life. 11. 10. 17

Another year nearly over.

Another year nearly over, coming and going out of nowhere and handy any chance to write.
Another year older but hopefully wiser as a writer but never a stone lighter.
All the same, I hope I'm a fighter. 11.10. 17

Learning disability, health problems. mental health disorders, difficulties, long-term conditions or and etc. 
All these mental health problems can get confused because there's not much different to one another. I guess I could have either one to all of those as I have suffered from either one to all for forty-eight years nearly, which is from birth. My last seizure I had four years ago this is what I have faced on and off through my life. 
Through the side effects of my medication Phenobarbital, I was put on as a baby and child, which caused me to be moody and hyperactive. The moods could come at any time due to the fact I found it hard to sleep at night I was overtired. Yet strangely the daytime I was dreamy, in a world of my own and unaware of the world around me. For example, even at the age of twelve, I was a dangerous hazard to cross the road.
I couldn't pay attention in my school work. I was always classed as thick, lazy and told I’d never get along in life.  I think at that point of my life I was suffering from ADHD.  I left school believing I wouldn't get anywhere in life. I left school believing at first that I would not get anywhere in life but then I was gladder to leave school. Near enough every school I went to I faced bullying, rape and sexual abuse from a lot of children in the schools.  From after I left school twenty – seven years ago I have proved myself wrong by achieving the things I have said I have achieved like the exams I have passed in college, the awareness of learning disability and mental health, Advocacy, short stories and poetry which is all on my website sararevealed.blogspot.com/ email sarajgorman@gmail.com.




Never the less these health problems are not much different to one another. Anxiety is a feeling of anger, panic, and fear whether a person has a reason to feel that way or not. Depression is a feeling of sadness whether a person has a reason to feel sad or not. Epilepsy and panic attacks are not that much different to one another either. Worry is connected to stress which is anxiety when a person gets upset easily.  Can all those health problems be linked or and even be misunderstood?  

How can these health problems be not much different to one another?
A fit and a panic attack are both to do with the nevus system, which people can very easily confuse one with the other. This can also be confusing for the person who is facing the fit, panic attack or even both. For example what I have faced.
·       Headaches
·       Dizziness
·       Choking or even a sense of choking, it’s a feeling as if someone has got their hands around my neck.

·       Electric shocks, pins, and needles through my spine arms and legs.  
      Shaking
 
·       Going hot and cold
·       Fully aware of what’s going on.
This is an example of how all these things can get confused with one another.


Anxiety.  A sense of panic, fear and or anger whether there’s a reason or not. Like all health problems, it can depend on how we manage the health problems. Those of us like me who have had these health problems manage them in a different way than what we did to start off with.
As it’s possible I may have had ADHD as a child it could be possible it could be a major form of Anxiety. Most children pull a screaming and kicking temper paddies in town for example at times but it can depend on how often. If this happens to your child a lot and I mean a lot then they may need to get checked and diagnosed. Something may be happening your child may not be able to explain also they may be in fear that you may not understand. Maybe they don’t know themselves, which can be very furstraighting this can also be fearful and scary whether there’s a reason to be or not. ADHD can be some form of Autism as well.
A mild form Anxiety can be the same as major fearing things are worse than what they are but can be in different ways.  For example different people you different thing on one thing a person may want to know so that person may get easily get confused.
Most people may get upset easily upset caused by negative situations such as a death of people they know or they may a relationship breakup which we all have to face but we all get affected in different ways. Some people come to terms with these things quicker than others but people with health problems and disabilities mostly tend to be more sensitive and tend to be slower to come to terms with these kinds of issues.

Some people can be also nervous of exams and even taking their driving test for example. This can depend on how often a person is nervous and maybe depending what situations they are nervous of. People can get nervous over negative and positive things which can be a sense a fear, excitement, whether something is going to be good or bad news like exams for eg;
Some people have fears of forgetting things mainly when it comes to important things. Even if you have got things ready beforehand you want to make. You fear just in case you forget something important. In fact, people who suffer from Anxiety are likely to forget less time than people who don’t have Anxiety cause we are always worrying about forgetting. In fact what we have to remember is always on our minds until whatever event is over. You are saying to yourself, have I remembered it when you get there where you are going and whatever you need whatever for.
Anger is part of Anxiety. Anger is a feeling you get whether there’s a reason or not. It can be a feeling of anger, worry, stress, and tension yet all of those things can just happen. This is because those things are linked to Anxiety. This is where we need exercises to loosen our muscles up but this may not work for all of us. It’s possible that all these words like anger, worry, stress, and tension get confused easily because there’s not much difference between the meanings of the words. When we face these feelings it tends to feel the same feeling. These feelings don’t need a reason to happen.
