Hello everybody! 
I'm new to the community so wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me.
I'm 20 years old and have struggled with with physical and mental health issues for a long time. I have neurological and autoimmune conditions that cause chronic pain, muscle weakness, seizures, tremors and tics as well as PTSD, conversion disorder and depression/anxiety. I am currently adapting to being mostly wheelchair bound and re-navigating after having to leave my profession as a dancer due to my illnesses and feel like this community has a lots of experiences and support to offer that will help me on this journey and have lots of personal experiences I feel I can share that I hope will help others
