I joined an organisation called Penumbra which caters for people with MH Issues. I get a 2 hour 1:1 emotional support once a wk. With their help I managed to join a Badminton class, Swimming group, Tai Chi class and now Tennis class too. Without them I wouldn't be here as they push you to do things. They also have group studd you can go along to the other wk it was a relaxation group. There are 3 support workers and 1 manager. They have paperwork which we do once every 3 months and they check in with your moods, circumstances etc. I am hoping to volunteer with their help. Also thinking of going back to college. I have only been attending Penumbra for a year next month.

I also attend app's, meet up with friends for lunch/dinner try and enjoy my life.

Being on disabilty doesn't mean I am a recluse lol!
Thanks for this!
