in Start here and say hello!
Hi folks. I'm Phil from Bristol and suffer from severe Fibromyalgia and I also have moderate depression. I suffer from pain and fatigue from the moment I awake until I eventually fall asleep. I can no longer work so I'm on ESA (Support group) and get PIP. I try to keep positive but feel I'm on the scrap heap at the age of forty-six.

    Hi Mike and thanks for your reply to my post. I'm an animal lover, through and through with a special place in my heart for cats, hence the nickname, Catman. I've recently become a volunteer for the Cat Protection League which involves at the moment, home checks to ensure adopted moggies go to a good home. I'm also a fairly new member of Bradley Stoke Evengelical Church, here in Bristol. In the last few months the people there have become like a family to me. 

    The last few months have been quite a challenge to me, more will be revealed in good time. Suffice to say, it's been quite a rocky road.

    Hi @Catman. I'm a dog owner (allergic to cats unfortunately), but it's great to look after animals, and it's fantastic that you are doing that good work to keep the cats safe.

    It's great to have you here, and I look forward to chatting with you as well.

    Thanks Mike and I'm so sorry for the lateness of my reply. I adore all animals, dogs as well. Fortunately, my partner who I met 18 months ago is the same as me. 

    I look forward to chatting to you as well.
