Hi @paul72 - Welcome to the community. There are several here with your disorders whom you'll hopefully get to meet. I have a genetic disorder (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), & the chronic pain associated with that is very similar to fibromyalgia. I wonder if you've tried contacting any of the following to see if they might help too.For fibromyalgia: http://www.fmauk.org/ & https://ukfibromyalgia.comAs far as your mental health goes there are several charities that may also be able to offer you support.The Richmond Fellowship: https://www.richmondfellowship.org.uk/ You can check if there's any support local to you, as it's not in all areas.Mind: https://www.mind.org.uk/Rethink: https://www.rethink.org/Please have a look around the forum & join in with any discussions. Please also ask any questions, as there's often someone here who may be able to help or advise.
