Learning disabilities can present new challenges as your life changes, especially if you are adjusting to a new set of demands like a job change or parenthood. These transitions can cause stress and increase a sense of struggling.

Perhaps some changes need to be made to help you cope with daily challenges. It might also be a good idea to check with a doctor to see if there is some underlying physical reason a disability seems to have worsened.
