its natural to feel nervous.
But to feel nervous day and night without Just cause means something is wrong.
Unfortunately I Have That Problem.
It Means I tremble all the Time.
And when it's really Bad my head nods back and forth and it can be difficult to control it.
I Don't know why I am so nervously disposed but I'm sure there must be a reasonable explanation?
Being shy I think can make it worse.
I'm aware that there are many people in the world with similar health problems but I still feel quite alone with regard to this problem.
As far as I know I'm the only one that has it in my family?
My dear mum sadly has bad nerves now due to being diabetic and I guess her age may play a Part as Well?
She is 70.
I'd love to find a cure for this problem.
and to be able to stand up straight without any trembling at all and no longer feel embarrassed about it.
I hate seeing myself in the mirror and noticing my head nodding.
can anyone else relate to this problem?
If so how do you cope with it?

I think you can attend college courses at any age. I may be wrong.

Trevor have you done any reading about Autism and Aspergers?You may be on the autistic spectrum. Autism can mean you are very shy and not too good with people around you, also good at maths.Look into this, because if it fits you, there is medication to help [Jingle has already mentioned it] and it would help your understanding of yourself.

Joining a group putting on amateur theatricals would do wonders for your nerves, Trevor. You have a natural gift for thespianism and self-projection.

And an uncanny aptitude for role-playing - you'd be an asset to your local AmDram Society.

I can add up quite quickly.

But I can't do algebra. Can anyone do algebra?

I think there are a lot of adults out there who were never diagnosed with autism/Aspergers and are somewhere on the spectrum.Reading up on it could help adults greatly.They would then know that far from being alone and feeling like an alien, there are lots of people out there who feel the same.If you can understand yourself, it brings about acceptance, and will help families. There are also groups to join.
I used to be able to do algebra, but have forgotten it entirely now !

Can't remember. Anyway, I thought it was dyslexic you'd just become.

roses, isn't there a danger that we'd all think we were on some sort of spectrum or other if we started reading up on it?

Jingle Surely you can't have both dyslexia and dyscalculia? Or do I mean dysalgebria?

I thought Trevor said he was 47, but could still be a student anyway.

A very funny age, Trevor, much given to introspection. Life is supposed to have begun 7 years ago but sometimes one is left wondering - why has nothing changed?

The OP has left I think? I can't click on his profile although it's blue.

I thought I was good at maths until I realised I was dysalgebraic (or whatever).

Can do a 2 liner but not a 2 pager.

Perhaps the poster realised he was getting nowhere? hmm

He had a few days of fame. Who needs more?
