Hi I'm new. I have chronic widespread joint hyper mobility , dropped arches and fallen ankles , anxiety and depression. And migraines eyes getting worse by the day. Every days a constant struggle made even worse by the benefit system which results in an even worse time than already having. Much love for letting me join u all. ❤️

Hello Paula (I'm guessing ) @paulapickles and welcome to the community. It's good to have you with us.
All I now know about joint hyper mobility I have learned through Google just now, and it sounds pretty awful to me, whilst anxiety and depression I know only too well. And, of course, the current 'benefit system' is awful beyond a joke.
I've found a discussion, begun last December but still apparently ongoing, which might be of interest to you regarding HMS https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/34543/joint-hypermoblity-spectrum-disorder There are one or two links in it that I think you might find useful.
You can also use the search box to find posts and discussions on depression and anxiety, and on benefits. There is also a benefits advisor you might be able to make use of.
Let me know if any of this helps (and if it doesn't ) and don't hesitate to ask any questions or suggest any ways you think we might be able to help.
Warmest best wishes to you,
Richard
