Hi and welcome from me too
Do you want to tell us a bit about yourself
Feel free to join in or ask any questions -
Hello again, thanks for the lovely warm welcome. I have just moved into a short term let. I've got a degenerative back condition which limits my mobility, and has meant I'm unable to work. I stumbled across this group on Facebook, and am hoping to connect with others, am feeling isolated in the current situation. I love reading and doing crosswords, listening to music, and I love to chat!

@janer1967 thank you for your kind reply. I know all about teenage boys and their gaming, my son is 25 but still loves his ps4! I am glad you are in a bungalow, looking ahead I won't be able to manage stairs. It is good to be in this group.

Do you live on your own now ?
Before I moved I used to go up and down stairs on my bum lol with a wheelchair at top and bottom to transfer to
Not that I would recommend this but if I didnt I would have been confined to downstairs only till I moved house

Hi, I'm a newbie too and I find this a literal lifesaver. I had a bipolar relapse on Monday due to a break up in which the police were involved. Mental health services were with me within 24 hours and they've been so supportive. I live in a small village and have been here over 20 years (on and off) and they have circled the wagons around me. I also have fantastic friends locally and all round the world. As I live alone I have bubbled up with another household and also have priority slots with Tesco as cannot leave the house alone. I am concentrating on eating and sleeping and have my new meds regime which should kick in about a week. What I'm trying to say is to get all the support you can around you. Big loves Nic

@colygirl, firstly thank you for responding to my post, and secondly I am so sorry to hear that you have been through a bad time. Glad to hear that you have support locally, it makes all the difference. As well as my physical problems I also suffer with mental health issues. I am trying to cope with the loneliness, I know I'm not the only one dealing with it at the moment, but some days are harder than others. Really glad to have connected with this group.
