Wheelchair joystick and warranty rights
Hi. My wheelchair joystick is faulty and is now now fit for purpose after only a year. It was very expensive and thought it had 2 years warranty but I have been told it has ran out. Do I have any rights here. Is the mobility shop supposed to cover it for the 1st year. I've been told only a year as classed as an add on part…

Starmers Brother.
Starmer pays tribute to 'wonderful' brother who died on Boxing Day . Poor man couldn't hold down a job most of his life due to ill health. Such a shame his brother learnt no lessons for his brothers plight. I hope his sympathy and compassion stretched to the poor soul.. it's lacking for us.

Could we do more with support?
I could do with an enabler. Until I was chatting to my friend I had no idea these people even existed. You usually need to book these people up way in advance as they get so booked up. I touched base with one person that I might be able to make an arrangement with to have a day out next year. I don't get to go out for the…

Mental health breakdown
Yesterday I had a terrible day. Tried to get thru to samaritans and couldn't get thru. I didn't want to be here anymore. It was literally because my kids were in the house I didn't just up and walk and never come back. Somedays I'm on top of it but Yesterday was a horrendous day. Just need to say

There is support out there
But you need to know where to look, who to talk to and be proactive in asking for it. I am not depressed so I am able to at the moment contact people asking for support, to be signposted on if it's not the right people in the beginning. I have met up with a few friends who told me of support in my local area, who to…

The Feelings post
I am pretty rubbish at describing how I feel. I am either okay, fine, or I am not. Or, I simply don't feel or think and it's an empty space. Today I felt unsettled. I am going to allow myself to feel that. Take note of where it sits, what it does. It was an anxiety feeling in my stomach. It's transient, meaning it will…

Panic Attacks
It's rare for me not to be up at the crack of dawn but I've had panic attacks for the last 16 hours. I phoned Samaritans because I have no friends or family to talk to. I waited 10 minutes to speak with a volunteer. I think she was out of her depth and wanted to get me off the phone. My anxiety this morning is just vile.

Dropping social media -
I really was getting overwhelmed, & frustrated by FB in particular. FB's ONLY purpose really is to gather your data, and keep you clicking, earning the multibillionaire thousands by the second. Every second post is an advert, not from your friends but a clickbait to someones ticktock/ or advert that I'm REALLY not…

Hi, I would like to ask if I am given a painkiller that is harmful to me and the hospital doctor says that it is not good for me. I tell the GP the long list of side effects, specifically I ask for psychological help to quit and I ask for a change of medicine. I get promises from the GP for everything and all promises…

Significant change in circumstances
I am still in shock and not fully awake. I live in supported accommodation and my landlord just died. It's looking like the property will be sold, so I don't know what that means for me. I havent migrated onto UC so the move (when it happens) will trigger that off. My question at this time (as I am not digesting what's…
