Hi I'm not sure whether you are able to answer this easily but I'm gonna try. I definately dyslexia, which seemed pretty obvious as my dad and both my sisters have it. However, despite extra time, I still can't finish my work, I can never concentrate, I can never finish anything and forget everything and even when i WANT to listen, my brain switches off :( this is becoming a real problem as I just got my As results back and they weren't great-is this dyslexia symptoms or something else?
Hi!
I am sorry it took so long to answer you message! The things you described sound very familiar to test anxiety (that’s how many schools call it). People who struggle with stress anxiety usually have a fear of failing. Could it be that you’re struggling with anxiety when you make a test? You can read a bit more about how to reduce and/or cope with test anxiety here.
You’re definitely not alone, I actually used to struggle with stress anxiety a lot. So if you want to talk a bit more about it feel free to message me again :)
Dyslexia is often a cause of stress anxiety. But, I don’t know you well enough to say if it could be anxiety or not. Also I am not a professional so I can’t diagnose with anything. I strongly recommend you to talk to a counselor or a teacher at your school! They will be able to help you out a bit more :)
