so there is the fact that i've been working on my handwriting because its kind of ugly and unrecognizable, and now the fact that the voicethoughts are messing with my handwriting is even worst. my hand writing is taking up to much space and the letters are big and irregular its like they think that everything should be big no matter the upper case and lower case, and that is what i'm writing about they don't have the rule of the lower case only being half of the space provided in a notebook of any kind. anyways i like to write all together for a word, almost like i'm suffocating the words so that they have enough space for the rest of the writing i'm going to do. take a moment here and notice how i used the word suffocate, like the words e uses a voicethought that cant be forgotten because of the pain she's provided in the process of saying suffocate and then taking my breath away.
i feel like i'm losing myself slowly here and by slowly i mean really fast, because i'm using words and phrases that they would use and that to me is scaring me. i mean i feel like they are slowly taking control and its like an animal that wants to breakout and act on its own accord. back to the topic though, the writing i use its more organized because it takes the lower case rule for words to action, for example i would write the lower case words only half of what the space of length is giving me.

Sorry...I replied on your other post, so I'm deleting this one.

Strengthen your hand muscles. Don't use a mobile or computer or remote control, strengthen it up. Makes a big difference for me. if I have gone on a computer binge it's over, I can't write, mine is the same. Go easy on yourself.

I have had issues as well, all of which I point to medication as a cause. I will read over my writing and discover missing and jumbled up words (like thing instead of think, diningroom instead of light switch) and other unbelievably silly mistakes. In addition the 'form' my writing takes fluctuates from big loopy letters to weenie little letters printed at the time of incredibly tremmoring hands.

There have been a few times I've had to ask someone to fill out forms for me as I just couldn't do so myself.

The problem though has been behind me these last several months - since I have resumed journalling. I write for 15 min to an hour a day and the exercise of doing so seems to have improved the results. The writing seems more consistant and fluid.

I really like the above suggestion of strengthening the muscles in the wrist and hand. I add to that the suggestion of daily practise.

Practice is a big help. My writing is bad due to hand tremors caused by meds. I take something for it but it still doesn't completely help the problem. I used to draw a lot but gave it up because I can't control my hand movement. I prefer typing if I can but there are those occasions which you still have to use handwriting, like signing your name. I hope yours gets better.

Now that i think of it there was also a time where the voicethoughts told me not to look because they were going to write something in an envelope that day, and what was printed in the paper was 'money' and something else

My hand writing is quite messy but I have always been told that sloppy
handwriting is a sign of genius so try and remember that
