      From tonelowe June 18

      Hello, I just wanted to ask if all went well with the docs appointment? I can understand how uncomfortable it is to be big. I go from an F to G cup and all pretty bras dont support and all the support ones are hot and ugly, I just wanted to say that your not alone. Be well and good luck.

    • I’m With You

      From xbekahx May 22

      Hey! I just read your post on the dyspraxia forum and i completley understand how your feeling. I'm 16 and have dyspraxia, when i was at school it was a nightmare the teachers always shouted at me for messy handwriting taking to long to complete work and forgetting homework and p.e kit e.t.c. Whenever my mum used to explain about the dyspraxia they never seemed to understand. Due to all of this i skipped school and eventually stopped going all together (i also have an anxiety disorder so its to do with that aswell not just the dyspraxia, i dont want you to worry lol). It's very difficult when no one seems to understand expecially schools! I think you need to continue to talk to the school. Does your son get any school support? I wish you the best of luck! :)
