in Start here and say hello!
Hi everyone! Im a 38 year old mother to one. I have diagnosis of ptsd, bipolar, psoriasis and psoriatic arthropathy. I've been trying to find support from facebook groups but they are poorly managed and I have been subject to some outrageous treatment. Im not getting a lot of family support other than my wonderful partner. Im quite low right now. In a quite a lot of pain. Would just really like to pass the time with people who understand the battles we fight daily and maybe learn new things too!
I hope everyone is good (but I get that sometimes even okay would be acceptable) and hope to get to know you all!

    Thankyou everyone! What a lovely welcome! Yes some fb admin do have power issues. I have recently been thrown out of a group for correcting an admin on what medical cannabis is and is not. He threw a tantrum and told me he had been breaking the law for years smoking "hash" and knew better than a young un like me (I am actually the same age as this guy I just don't look as old probably because Im not a user of illicit substances and alcohol!!)

    Its experiences like that that put me off the groups. The disinformation some fb admins put out is shocking!
