UNDERSTANDING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION.

Anxiety and depression can be linked to learning disabilities.

•Most of us feel frightened our muscles can tense up whether we have a reason to do so or not.

•Most of us can think we fail in everything but we don’t.

• We can feel nervous for example when are about to take an exam or even have an interview for a job.

•Most of us find it hard to believe in ourselves and many of us find it hard to we will get the support we need in whatever we need it for.

Some of us find it hard to believe that employers will take us on many of us believe that employers will sack us.

• 

•Anxiety and depression has its good days and bad.

•When things get really bad many of us feel as if life is not worth living, therefore it can cause us to have thoughts of taking our own lives.

This may not make sense to people who don’t have Mental Health problems but we shouldn't be made to feel ashamed and guilty, mainly those of us who try to help ourselves.

•Many of us may appear alright to you if you see smiles on our faces but what we feel inside can be very different.

Epilepsy, Anxiety and Depression worry and stress can affect.

Epilepsy.
This may not be epilepsy, if not what is it?

     It may well be Anxiety panic attacks.
Why come back after twenty years?
Why haven't felt well for the last mouth?
Headaches, shakes and the room moving round and round.

It's like a big storm inside my head.
It causes your nerves to be bad mainly when you have waiting to see if you pass or fail. 2001 onwards.

About Epilepsy.

The risk of post-traumatic seizures increases with severity of trauma (image at right) and is particularly elevated with certain types of brain trauma such as cerebral contusions or hematomas.[22] As many as 50% of people with penetrating head injuries 

will develop seizures.[20] People with early seizures, those occurring within a week of injury, have an increased risk of post-traumatic epilepsy (recurrent seizures occurring more than a week after the initial trauma).[23] Generally, medical professionals use anticonvulsant medications to treat seizures in TBI patients within the first week of injury only [24] and after that only if the seizures persist.

Emotional and behavioural problems [edit]

•TBI may cause emotional or behavioural problems and changes in personality.[15] Emotional symptoms that can follow TBI include emotional instability, depression, anxiety, hypomania, mania, apathy, irritability, and anger.[9] TBI appears to predispose a person to psychiatric disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder, alcohol or substance abuse or substance dependence, dysthymia,clinicaldepression, bipolar disorder, phobias, panic disorder, and schizophrenia.[16] About one quarter of people with TBI suffer from clinical depression, and about 9% suffer mania.[17] The prevalence of all psychiatric illnesses is 49% in moderate to severe TBI and 34% in mild TBI within a year of injury, compared with 18% of controls.[18] People with TBI continue to be at greater risk for psychiatric problems than others even years after an injury.

Problems that may persist for up to two years after the injury include irritability, suicidal, insomnia, and loss of the ability to experience pleasure from previously enjoyable experiences.[17]

•Behavioural symptoms that can follow TBI include disinhibition, inability to control anger, impulsiveness, and lack of initiative, inappropriate sexual activity, and changes in personality.[9] Different

• behavioural problems are characteristic of the location of injury; for instance, frontal injuries often result in disinhibition and inappropriate or childish behaviour, and temporal lobe injuries often cause irritability and aggression.[19]

Awareness of me and the problems I face.

I am Dyslexic and the colleges have cut back on funding. I may just about get extra time the example but support with other students there were as before I had one to one with just a support tutor. On top of that now not necessary the fact that it's a higher level qualification English Function Skills Level 2. The way it's worded and everything even the none Dyslexic students are having problems with it. The more the system is crashing, there must be Dyslexia awareness. It causes Dyslexia students a lot of Anxiety and stress because some qualifications you can't necessary walk away from them if you need to for work. It doesn't make you not a keen learner. Today's system is hard anyone to cope but if you have got certain disabilities and health problems it's twice as hard. I am in college tonight. Even I get support college I am on my own with homework. I am trying to find Dyslexia homework tips online, which some are helpful, others are not and most are very limited.

My long - term conditions. 

My name is Sara Jane Gorman; I was born with my long – term conditions nearly forty – nine years ago. Due to the fact that very little was known back then I haven’t been diagnosed but my family members have read up over the years about long- conditions to find Epilepsy, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Mild Autism and ADHD match up to me, which wasn’t really was when I was born. Epilepsy was but there wasn’t a lot about it. I did ask my GP about getting diagnosed but she said there wasn’t any funding.

 Dyspraxia is a much hidden physical disability; I can’t do things like cooking, sewing or cut my nails. 

I have mostly had my family to support me with my long – term condition but mostly I live with me myself. It has taken me a lot of years to accept. I admit I used to make out I hadn’t got it as a child and teenager because naturally wanted to be like everyone else since then I have learned I am but just needing the right support. 

When I was on tablets for Epilepsy, the tablets made me more shaky and clumsily, I find it’s less when I’m not on medication, made me feel very depressed, fur straight ed and Anxious, which used happen more as a child teenage but throughout my adult I have accepted my disabilities and health problems. 
I also have Anxiety and Depression, which I can feel angry and depressed at any time whether there's reason or not. I tend to panic and worry over things that are more often than not as bad as it seems.

Back in 2007 to 2011 I was working member of a Public Advocacy group called Our Shout and I spoke up for the rights of disabilities and health, then I became a group supporter of the group. I used to plan, set up meetings, take the minutes and plenty of other things too.

In 2012 I was a trainee Basic Admin for an Advocacy service called One Voice, which was Private Advocacy, then in April 2013 I trained as an Private Advocacy worker, then 2015 I became a Visting Lecture of Learning Disability and Mental Health Awareness trainer for the Unversity by me, which I still am today. I have found by doing these things has helped me set up Always Learn About Disability + Never Judge Disability with Tim, even though he's stepped down to relief Admin but he created the group. This has helped me to realized that I'm not alone and plenty you on this face the same if not, not much different to me.

No one has to but if anyone can please make comments, likes or and share to this link and or even tell your stories others can share, make comments, likes, share or and tell their stories, thank you Sara ( Head Admin. This also will be added to Friendship and Chatting too.  

When I was a child I could have done with physic to help me to grip things stronger, I could have done with it from a very 

What is Anxiety and Depression?

What is Anxiety and Depression? Anxiety and Depression can be a very easily misunderstood Mental Health problem. Depression is when you don’t really care much about anything or anybody but that’s not the case, which why it can be misunderstood. Anxiety is where you worry about everything and everybody but that’s not the case, which is why it can misunderstand. However’ if you have both, sadly life is hell which is mostly the case because mostly they link together. I think it’s very few and in-between people get one or other, to be honest no one knows for sure. Anxiety and Depression can link to other disabilities, health problems or and etc, it’s also possible to just get two of them or one or the other. Anxiety and Depression is a Mental Health problem, it’s feeling that can come on with or without a reason it can vary for different people. It can be so much understood because Depression is a feeling sadness and Anxiety is a feeling of anger, which people who don’t suffer from these Mental Health problems it’s easy for them to think everything about us is negative about the people who do, which is not true. The truth is that they are hidden and nine out of ten people who face Anxiety and Depression appears to be happier than those without so, therefore society can misunderstand them for always feeling happy with their lives. No one should be judged either way. However’ most people with Depression can feel we are to blame, failures, let down to ourselves, others, everything, everybody because so many people think more of the negative us than the positive to a point then encourages a person to think mostly negative of ourselves. We can feel alone but we are not alone. While is going us feel it’s never going end and its feel as if you feel life is not worth life. The worse things you can do is say everything negative to a person anyway, mainly those who face Anxiety and Depression as it is. Even if you feel someone has very low self – stream it’s your job to bring them back up again. As I said in the teaching session Thursday 27th April 2017, introducing Learning Disability Nursing, a theory can help some people like suggesting hobbies, interests, arts, crafts, careers, education or and etc, which is trying to give people something to look forward to and something positive to focus. However’ it does work for everyone. Don’t feel you have failed if something hasn’t worked for someone Anxiety and Depression is a very challenging to deal with, even a lot of people themselves feel just as fur straight ed as what you might do, bearing in mind we live with the condition we don’t enjoy what have to face. Someone who is suffering to a point it’s the opposite way where they have lost interest and everything, it can be very tricky where they may spend a lot a time off work or whatever else they were doing when they were okay. However’ some people have what you call a turnaround, I strangely did when I was losing my work with Mencap where there was less work coming in, then as time went on more problems they were facing then was starting to lose interest in the very little what was there. When I lost I had nothing happening from May 2011 to December 2011, I had spells I was climbing the walls begging to get out do something to spells I had no interest in anything. Due to the fact that lots of funding were been cut in different places there’s wasn’t a lot of help and support so the more I heard funding was cut and finding work so for was harder the more was losing interest and fail that things would improve, However’ somehow I managed to push myself to move forward again but not everyone can, some people more than others and others it just does happen at all. Yes, it is true that you can’t help people unless they help themselves, don’t get me wrong it’s not the case for everyone because there are many out who don’t help themselves but then they are many out there who try hard even too hard to a point, it’s harder for some than it is for others. We can feel a sense of guilt, blame or and even if we have no reason to feel that way. We can go through spells we feel down then better again but then we feel as though we never will. It’s easy for others to say things, don’t worry, don’t panic, it will pass; move on that part your life has gone now. As true as it maybe what they say, it is the frame we are at the time. We don’t see or feel it when we are going through whatever at the time. It only when we go back into good spells we realize but there are risks sadly that most people don’t pull through at all. Some people pull through others don’t. It’s a case of will you or won’t and if you don’t its case of when is enough is enough? Anxiety and Depression don't beat everyone. What makes Anxiety and Depression hard to understand? We can’t and don’t show sadness and anger 24 .7. It’s either misunderstood one way or the other, even both in the case may be always happy or and always sad. Just because you always see a smile doesn’t mean the person is happy underneath and the even the opposite way as strange as it sounds. There’s no proof to say either way or both. The person themselves are fighting with their own feelings and emotions all the time, it’s a big effect for us to get through each hour, minute, second, day, night or and etc. Each and every one of us handles it different ways. Most of us sleep too much most of us sleep too less and others it’s a bit of both. It’s too easy to lose confidence and self – stream, interest in things, work, education or and etc. Some people find having these things in their lives is more helpful in their lives than having nothing. Others it can be a bit of both. Disabilities, health problems, mental health problems, Disorders, Long – Term conditions and Stress. Life is stressful for everyone one way or another coping with everyday ups and downs such as health, education, employment, housing, social lives or and etc, which could mean anything and everything. If have disabilities, health problems, mental health problems, disorders, long – term conditions or etc, you may be more sensitive, emotional and plus most things could take longer to pass compared what it would do with other people. Not only those, in some cases stress is also a risk of making people unwell anyway and even more of a risk if you have certain things with you every day of your life such as health problems for example. Here are some disabilities and health problems that are most likely to be at risk. • Anxiety • Depression • ADHA • Epilepsy • Diabetes There other references such as online and even books where you could learn more. Even people who face general, physical and mental disabilities are at risk depending on the disabilities they have. What are the risks but could be unlikely, all the same, their health should be checked more than other people? Here are just a few risks. It’s down to you to look for more like looking online and in books. • Heart attack • Strokes • Cartatarests.


ABOUT THE CUTS. 

No one should be forced into situations that they can’t manage without the right support. 

There again vulnerable people should have as much rights as other people.

Vulnerable people having to ask other people for support a lot.

Vulnerable people hate been seen as a centre of attention. 

Vulnerable people don't like been seen as hard work and costing a lot of money for others.

Vulnerable people don't like feeling as if we are blamed for the problems we have, we don’t like being made to feel guilty for the problems we have.

Despite of the problems we have we should have the same rights as other people.

These cuts are making times go backwards instead of forwards.

These cuts are likely to affect areas of life like.

Social events

Health

Education

Employment

Housing

not enough work

too much work

paying bills,

marriage

relationships

children are/support in the home

Disabilities, health problems etc handouts.

Dyslexia.


People with Dyslexia can read and write, we just face challenges with reading and writing for example.

• We may mean to write or say dog which may come out as bog.
• 28 that may come out as 82.
• Miss words out of sentences or and misread sentences or words.
• might repeat things or and say things again because that we may have forgotten we have said it or and written it. 

How can other people react to people with Autism?

Most people with Autism find it hard to communicate with other socially. People with Autism may talk about a different topic to what other people are talking about without meaning because they may not be aware or and understand what others are talking about. If people don't know the person or and don't the person has Autism, they may just carry on as if the person isn't there, which could make the person with Autism feel shut out and not understand why no is talking to them.
  Even people are talking to the person, both the person with Autism and the people around may not feel as if they are not on the same wavelength.
 This may be because the people might be talking too fast for the person with Autism, the person with Autism may not understand the topic the people are talking about, the person with Autism may find it hard to take in what people are talking about, they may not react at the same or in the same way to the topic, for example if they laugh and no one else is, plus not understand what is a joke and what isn't and they may say something that isn't anything to do with what others are talking about.
This is what can make hard people with Autism gain friendships and or relationships. it's common for Anxiety to be connected with Autism, due to the fact lack of communication with others doesn't always helps us to get on with people but doesn't mean everyone.
Anxiety can make us angry, fur straughted, guilt and alone in the world because we may have said or done something that didn't mean how it has sounded or and seemed to others.

Social Interaction. 
Social Interaction is when the person is surrounded by too many people, noises, traffic and etc to cope with for example.

The difficulties we face. 

• Social communication. Finding it hard to communicate with others.
• Social Interaction. Finding it hard to cope with the big world, for example, finding our way around a lot of places and surrounded by a lot of people.
• Social imagination. Finding hard to understand when something is a joke or and serious.

Easy read guidelines.

introduction.

For people with disabilities and health problems to understand information mainly when the information is important, it needs to be accessible and easy for us to read. A lot of people have had their support cut and many may have a small amount of family support if they are lucky but most may have no support.  For example; we tend to find anything important is not accessible like letters for our benefits or bills we may need to pay. That's just two things but there may be other important things we don't understand because the information is not accessible for us understand whether it's important or not.

Here some guidelines from Mencap that people with disabilities and health problems wrote. However'  different ways are and are not accessible to different people so please ask people what is and what isn't accessible to them before providing them with information.
Also be honest, if there's anything the place you work can't provide to make the information accessible, please let the person know and explain to the person what the information means if they have problems understanding what it means, highlights it if needs to be. However' if the person does bring support with them to tell whoever that is to explain to them. Try to make important information direct for example; You must post your benefit form and letter tomorrow!
 More information about the update accessible information guidelines is on the Mencap website http://www.accessibleinfo.co.uk/pdfs/Making-Myself-Clear.pdf

Why is accessible information easy read is important?

·       Accessible information easy read is helping to make information easy to read and understand.

·       Nine times out of ten when we read things, it very not easy to read and understand.

·, For example, print can be too small, too many long words and may others things that make information hard for people to read and take in.

·       It can be more so frustrating for a person if what they are reading is important for example a bill to paid or benefit form needing to be posted off to a certain date, even worse someone people may not understand at all what the information is.

·       This is can get the person very much misunderstood if they have people around to look at information.

·       The person may not do anything because they may not understand the information they have been given or sent, which can be very concerning.

·       Not everyone gets’s support and not everyone gets enough support.

Things like bullet points could be put in an instructive accessible way, step by step, bullet point, 123, ABC, mainly for those with memory problems and those who have problems taking in information.

·       This could be how to do things or even directions how to get places.

·       Some people find it hard if too much is said to them at once.

Learning how to teach.

·       How can we make teaching and learning put in an accessible way?

·       Teaching needs to be put in an accessible way, easy words, sentences, and pictures.

·       Everyone knows that learning is never meant to be easy, things we don’t isn’t easy simply because we there are things we don’t know.

·        We know that learning isn’t meant to be easy but life is even more challenging for people with disabilities, health problems or and etc.

·        

·        

·       However’ how information is laid would make some different to a way a person learns.

·        

·       Take a look at how people’s disabilities, health problems or and or etc affects their abilities to learn compared to other people.

·       For example: slowing the person down one way or another.

·       This can affect things like the ability to learn, memory one way or another or and understanding.

Ho

Here are a couple examples: easy and clear words, easy and clear picture. I can’t always possible but as many short words and short sentences as possible. 

 Here some links that may help you learn how to make information easy and accessible to read.http://sararevealed.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/up-date-of-accessible-information.html

http://sararevealed.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/reminder-of-accessible-information.html

Please at other refences that could help you to how to make information easy for people to read and understand such as online

1. Use simple text ( plain Engish. No jargon. Try to write as you speak. Don't use unnecessary detail or abbreviation. If you need to use hard words explain to the person what they mean. 
2. Use a dictionary or thesaurus to see if you can make the launage any easier for them, if not explain why and what you mean.   
3. Be plain in what you write and say, cut out and unnecessary information, make sure important information to the person is provided whether it's for their needs or wants so the person doesn't miss out on anything important.
4. short sentences. 
5. Use simple punctuation, avoid semicolons; colons: hyphens- or and broken up sentences with many commas.
6. Short words.
7. Highlight words that you may not be able to shorten and explain to the person what you mean.
8. Large print at least size 12 font at least.
9. plenty of typeface and spacing.
10. Bullet points, 123, ABC, for listing, instructions, logical, one step at a time order to do or and not do things or and etc.
11. Try to make sure words like eggs, bacon, beans are put into the bullet point, lists, 123, ABC rather than one line and in comma lists. 
12. Images, pictures, photos, symbols, story boxes and can make the information clear to most people. 
13.   If you are writing for adults pick your pictures and that very careful and make sure the pictures are not childish. Go through the pictures with the person to see what they like.
14. Do not rely heavily on abstract symbols unless you know your readers are confident symbol user. Chose one of two simple, pictorial symbols or and etc. 
15. Put them to the side of the words.  Pictures on the right and writing on the left.
16. Some people may prefer tapes, videos, DVDs or and etc with their writing, just the writing or just tapes for example. 
17. If you send emails remember that formatting can be lost. This can make materials hard to understand so please try to save them if you can. 
18. It's important to get to know your audience so you know what is and isn't accessible to them so you can do your best to provide what is easy for them to read.
19. Whenever possible involve your audience in the creative process, seek advice and ideas of people with learning disabilities as early as possible.
20. Most people prefer numbers to be written in numbers for example 22 rather than twenty - two.
21. Active verbs for eg; John loves Mary. not. Mary is loved by John. 
22. Use full stops don't use other punctuation marks.
23. Do not use abbreviations for eg ; do not. not eg; don't.
