Explaining your limitations to ‘normal’ healthy people.
Hi to anyone who reads this. How do you explain to ‘normal’ healthy people the physical and mental limitations your condition/s have on you in a way they can understand? I’m asking this because I’m fed up with people I know saying "you should try and get out more, then you’ll meet new people and start to enjoy life", no…

Today is my birthday.
Because its my birthday I have decided to write some more dad jokes to start my day off, with a chuckle. So here goes: they cover subjects I like and do so I hope they bring a smile to you.

Nintendo switch games
What are your favourites? Any recommendations for me, I've just finished luigis haunted mansion 3 and loved it. Really enjoy the kirby games too and religiously played animal crossing but I'm enjoying more platformed games with an actual goal rather than cosy games right now.

Going to a support group for the first time on your own
A few years ago, before Covid restrictions, I was going to a support group about 50 miles away for people with similar issues to me, I found it quite helpful. It was based in a pub and used to have between 5-15 members each time, depending on who went. I used to go with someone I met at a clinic so I didn’t have to walk in…

What keeps you going? / Why do you carry on?
For me it’s hope for the future. If I was guaranteed to forever stay the same as I am now I will admit I would end my life but I have a glimmer of hope that things will get better and that I will have a good life in the future. That is why I carry on through the struggles today. Interested to hear from others.

Christmas already?
I went through town earlier and a well-known shop that sells craft things (amongst other items) had started displaying Christmas craft bits and bobs. What are your thoughts? Is it too early? Perfect for crafters? Or something else entirely?
