    I suppose because I am the type that just accepts what I see, I don't question anyone. 
    I also have a sense of humour- nature's best medicine.

    I am different if you like because my issues are invisible. But I can joke and say meds being changed I'm in la la land, more than usual.  :)
    Let's face it saying to someone you have known for three years, what did you say your name was again, gives you away! 

    As for MH, I don't wish any of that on my worst enemy. Experienced depression then had a breakdown.
    What people don't realise is that their beautiful roses around the garden life might just be one crises/ accident away from the cliff. 
    Life changing injuries means exactly that, for you, your family, your friends, your job. Probably why I joke I'm from Mars because I do feel as if I was just plonked here.  :)

    Thank yoy....but it can be very extremely difficult at times when certain people press your emotional buttons.
    But as I say Im making strong efforts to cut out the stressors in my life.

    Best thing I did was move on/ forwards. I couldn't stay friends with people that I didn't have anything in common with.

    Victoriad,

    Thank you x
    been thinking about blue badge, not a bus pass yet, places etc with lots of people close in sets me off but blue badge would help with my friend parking close to where I need to go, maybe.

    cinema, I used to go all the time, not been in 3 years, the noise, people etc. Baby steps as my doctor said .

    im very grateful for your advise, thought x

    @whistles Yeah! It is a lot like you've suddenly been abducted by aliens and then put back into a slightly different version of Earth. Only you're the only one who knows....

    CEA card is really good if anyone can make use of it... I can't do things like that anymore - Misophonia/Hyperacusis inc a number of other reasons
