Hello- I don’t know what I am supposed to do or say on here? Looking for HELP & support. I live alone & am really struggling with real life situations (in general) at the moment, actually it’s been too hard for a long time. Because I am considered to be an attractive older woman & having curves- I have often attracted too…

i developed frozen shoulder about 18 months ago. I had just started physio for it then i broke it in multiple places last August.

Hi all , my pip award is up for renewal on the 15th July 2027 I had my letter for the extension and I only got 7 days it now says 21st July 2027. It dose say on the letter that they will review it again and could get extended again. 7 days makes no sense? Any idea if I should call them or leave it until they get in touch…

I probably have lots, but the one that comes to mind is sometimes saying words wrong. Like Iron - I say it as it's spelt, (kind of like i-ron) and pronounce the K in knife. I don't even know why. Guess it amuses me (which doesn't take a lot). 😂 Do you have any weird habits or quirks?

so I’m 50, i had sex a couple of times when i was 18 but it just didn’t feel right. Over the years I’ve realised it’s because I’m asexual. I do occasionally find women attractive but not sexually. I imagine I’d probably be ok with sex if i fell in love with someone. I imagine there are communities where i might meet…

Hi everyone, I'd like to talk about how AI can be used in the education and learning of disabled people, and hear about your experiences too. To start, let me simply describe a method I use myself.
