bellaboo Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Anybody else suffer wirh irlen syndrome its not a mental illness but u believe the nature of it can lead to ocd eds etc... Basically it means the brain doesnt process light properly so you get distortions in ya visuon like colours shapes flashing etc... And when reafing words jump and melt of the page i have had it since i was 8 along with epilipsy which is now gone but was not diagnosed with irlen till my 20s it makes me confused adgitated nauseas and i have moid swings and ocd have to follow certain routines things must be in place and i had an ed bullimia/anorexia for which im better but still battling. I have found copung stratergies growing whilst learning and now as a freelance lecturer/dancer but its hard and have never meet anyone with same problem. I have ibs and wondered if thats connected too like ab anxiety thing. Anyone out there relate to this?x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
