SociableSeanTB - Good afternoon everyone!

Good afternoon Scope community 
My name is Sean and I have just emerged from the cocoon of hidden illness and fear over my disability and mental health. This online community seems as good a place as any to get to know more about help and support in living with disabilities (and the potential to get to know people, make friends and have a good old natter is a bonus).
After over ten years of tests, assessments and numerous conflicting diagnoses, I have been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder and Dissociative Seizures, as well as PTSD. Aside from writing a fledgling blog on my experiences so far, I enjoy speaking and learning languages, watching sports and meeting new people. I live in Reading with my wife; we have been here for just under a year (although I am originally from Milton Keynes).
I look forward to chatting to you all in he weeks and months to come.

I’m learning BSL too (I’m partially deaf) if you look on Pinterest they have lots of BSL demonstration pictures which I have found really helpful!
