Hi Donna, always someone here for a chat! Hope you’re having a lovely summer? x I got sick in November was in hospital December good job I have my parents to look after my daughter I had a bad pnuemonia infection on my lungs but more my left lung. Was in hospital December when they found it … I couldn’t breathe and doctors have said I’m lucky to be a live. But I like to keep my circle of friends small.

Hi kay i find hard to get friends or have relationships because of my learning disabilities and autism

I understand. Have you got family around you? I would speak to you Mp that will put you in touch with people In your area… I know a few people like you And they do theatre and others do art classes and aqua fit with me x

I only have my oldest sister she my full-time care

Ask her to help you look for groups of people with interests like you. My friend did art as she likes drawing and painting and then I got her into aquafit which is what hospital drs told me to try and do … she helps me as sometimes after the class I can’t lift my leg to get dressed or put my shoe on and she’s enjoying the class it’s really good for mental health and fitness as it’s easy on your joints and you do it at a easy pace.

Good morning I hope you’re doing good today, when you feel up to it you could join in the games, or just have a chat there’s always someone around.

It’s a good place, and you can pass a good bit off time away. 

Take care ❤️

Donna40
