hi perna, I have been trying to help me adapt to my home for 19 months to little avail, (its pretty difficult when my only loo is upstairs!) i am always setting tiny stepping stones /goals, but even those are not working as i am still deteriorating! I am not able to rent out my home as it does not meet the regulations set for rental properties and really do not want strangers in my home! I should not have to move, this is my home and i love it, i have a good network of neighbours around me who i know i could call on if i get really stuck. I really would not be happy living in a flat, i have lived in my detatched house for 17 years! i lived in a flat once and hated it, noisy neighbours coming in at all hours banging around waking me up!!! I admit the circumstances around my living arrangements are not helping me, but if i am to get better i would rather live here when i am, i do not want to sell it because there is money to be made in selling part of my garden to developers, i just have to hold on for the right price to be offered (hopefully this will be in 2012 when they finish the development being built on my neighbours gardens!) If i am still struggling when a decent offer is made i will accept it and adapt my home myself! I just think it is so wrong that I am being left to cope without the help others get so easily when my needs at present are just the same
