Hi, I’m Sarah, I’m 51 years old, and I have both mental and physical disabilities, my physical disabilities only happened in the last few years, when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, cfs, and chronic back pain, these restrict my mobility a lot, and find everything difficult, in addition to that my mental health problems have stopped me socialising or leaving my home for the last few years, I only go out for vital appointments, which leaves me very isolated.
