I'm happy to come across this forum as my brother has disabilities and is currently very unwell in hospital and going through a lot of stress due to his family situation. I've been trying to support him as much as possible but could sure do with some friendly support here too.

    Hello @Aardvark77. Welcome to Scope’s forum. It is great to see you have joined us. How are you today?

    Thanks for reaching out to us. I appreciate how much courage it can take to say you could do with some friendly support here too.

    Often, it is too easy to forget our own wants and needs when the people around us are struggling. You have done really well to recognise where you are at.

    It sounds really tough that your brother has disabilities and is currently unwell in hospital and going through a lot of stress due to his family situation.

    Would you like to tell us more about how this is making you feel and what might help this to feel more manageable for you at the moment? We are here for you  :)

    Welcome to our great group @Aardvark77 Hope your brother is okay and that's lovely to think your supporting him so well.
    Hope you don't mind me asking, but while i was typing your Tag/user name it reminds me of something i just can't think.
