Looking for disabled friends

Hi. My name is Mischa and I am 57. I have diabetic peripheral neuropathy which affects my arms, hands, legs and feet. I live daily with chronic pain. As I have an invisible illness able bodied people don’t understand and I am struggling with my mental health due to isolation, being housebound and in constant pain. I need a friend who understands how I feel and why I am so low in mood daily
