    Hi Agnia,
    how have things been going for you? Have you had any progress with social services about any help they can give?
    in terms of being in a wheelchair or mobility scooter perhaps still look if there are any clubs around where people can meet up for coffee and a chat. I know not everywhere is accessible as would be ideal, but lots of cafes are reasonably accessible now.
    Sorry to hear life is still such a struggle. I no old things improve for you.

    Agnia, you are the first Scope member I cared enough to write to when I joined...lots of others do too! 

    I'm so glad to know you can get outdoors now! 
    A year ago you were immobilised and fighting for your benefits. You have made a lot of progress in that time. 

    Are you sleeping better at the moment? I read about your bad reaction to one prescription.

    Any experienced wheelchair users or mobility scooter riders reading this???

    Nice to see there's a few comments. There's nothing worse than feeling alone.
    I must admit this year has been the worst yet ever life has been harsh these last 12mnths.
    Everyone needs a virtual and actual 🤗 hug sometimes.

    Oh did I misunderstand? I'm sorry you're still unable to get outdoors...  :|  
    Do you have a wheelchair to use indoors now or just thinking about trying one?

    You sound a little bit better. We have more resilience than we think.
