Hi Toanster74, I'm felix and new here too.

Firstly,  let me say you're no longer alone

You seem like you're going through a very rough patch indeed, and I'm sorry about that. Do you have a social worker on the adult disability team where you live?

They can help you with lots of things, from housing to help organising care etc. They would definately be worth looking up and getting in contact with.

You can also phone the Citizens Advice bureau who can also help you with housing problems etc and they're jolly nice chaps! (and free).

 These people can help you and fight for you when/if you can't for yourself. It's worth trying.


You have now joined a community of people like yourself, and I'm quite sure that a good amount will have been through, or are going through what you are and can offer some advice and comfort.

You are not alone my friend xxxx

Hi @toanster74
Welcome to the community - I’m sorry to hear you are struggling? Are you getting any support? 

It it could be worth speaking to an Occupational Therapist about what help you could get around the house?
