Hi, my name is SpookySez!

Hi Lovelies! I am joining the community hoping to find friends and advice. I have FND and hemiplegic migraines. Myself and two of my four children also are Autistic. I have just lost my teaching job due suffering with FND for the last 12 months which has left me paralysed down my right side and with difficulty speaking. So I am looking at ways to get my life back on track in terms  of  housework building up, trying to entertain my darling kids in the holidays when not all of them want to leave the house and managing money. Would love to chat with others to see how people manage especially as I am finding it hard to plan outdoor activities which now have to be wheelchair accessible for me too without feeling such a burden. As kids are struggling with all the lifestyle changes that have happened over the last year.

Hi @spookysez welcome to the forum. Sorry to read you lost your job.
It can be hard juggling the family at the best of ttimes . Especially in school holidays, do you have support like family and freinds

Hi @Sandy_123 , I dont all my family are 70 mile away and my friends I guess were just work colleagues I guess as they didnt stay in touch once I went sick. How are you?

Hello @SpookySez

Welcome to the community! I am sorry to hear that you lost your job and that you have been so unwell. 

We have had lots of members sharing their crafts in our Kaleidoscope gallery, which may give you some ideas for the kids? I was speaking to another member and mentioned how a lot of local libraries are hosting activities which may be something to look into?
