Hi

I'm 28, from Wales and I decided to create this account in search of community acceptance and support.

I was diagnosed with EDS hypermobility at 18 and my life has been at a stand still since, in terms of a career and mental health.

I'm looking forward to being part of this community.

    Heya @TheWelshZebra and welcome to the community. 😁

    If you need help with anything, please just ask away and we'll all do our best to support you.
    Or if you just fancied a light hearted chat, or a few easy games, I'd recommend checking out the coffee lounge and the games den.

    @Mary_Scope Hello there fellow welshy!πŸ˜†

    my main loves are gardening, gaming, walks, animals, crime dramas. gardening no so much this time of year as pain levels get worse but summer months are easier! I love this time of year for the colours though!

    How about you?

    Sounds like you've got a good collection of hobbies @TheWelshZebra! I enjoy a crime drama too and I recently started watching Frauds on ITV, it has Suranne Jones and Jodie Whittaker in and I'm really enjoying it, have you seen that?😊

    You may enjoy this thread what video game/games are you playing? if you're into gaming!


    Yes this time of year is beautiful, it is always nice to see the leaves get crunchy and change coloursπŸ‚ Plus the squirrels are always out which is nice to see, whats your favourite animal?

    @Mary_Scope summer and winter hobbirs keep me productive because i can't work and it crushes my mental health.
