Issues writing by hand

Am I the only one who finds it hard to write by hand with a pen or pencil? I first had this issue at school I couldn't hold the pencil steady and my writing looked horrific, teachers kept telling me off for it. It's no better now - probably a bit worse. I really struggle to keep hold of the pen now and the words sort of go all over the place. I tried writing Christmas cards when I woke up and omg they came out terribly. I remember now why I do all my writing on the laptop lol. My step sister is going to write the cards for me because her handwriting looks fancy and nice, but I am still disappointed I can't do this simple thing.

  • Hi Luna, have you ever looked into dysgraphia? Writing is something I’ve always struggled with. I hold the pen so tightly that it leaves marks on my fingers. I don’t tend to write anymore, I miss a lot of letters out of words.When I was younger, I would write backwards. The concentration required just to write out something like a birthday card is exhausting.

  • Hi Roy, I've just looked it up and a lot of it does sound like me. I have doctors this morning so I'll mention it to her and see what she thinks.

    It sounds difficult for you. I hope you get a lot of rest after to recharge:)
