Hello @maggiereckless1 Pleased to meet you welcome.
Sorry to hear your not too good. All I can say we are here to help and give you any support we can.
Reading your post. Sorry what has happened . Understanding why when meeting new people. It is never easy and difficult.
I can only say we as a community never judge any body. You are among friends here.
Have a suggestion have you looked at your local community centre or even health centre or Doctors. Often have community groups on.
I hope I can give you some reassurance it is finding the right contacts and support. Another for me. I have mental health, disabilities was volunteering. If you feel like doing that.
I have trouble mixing. Have deafness as well. So found my volunteering helps.
Please take care. We as a community are here to listen.
