Hello yellowted, I am from the UK and I used to work with people with physical disabilities a few years ago and I worked with a few people with conversion disorder/dissociative motor disorder. At that time they were classed as having physical disabilities rather than mental health. I found with the people I worked with that they would have some good days and some very bad days, they all used wheelchairs and needed help with personal care.

I'm wondering why you are not getting the help you need in real life when obviously the people I worked with did get help. Maybe you could get an advocate to help you fight for what you deserve, the CAB should be able to help with this. I think it would be a good idea for you to get onto Adult Care and Support (social services) too, you are a vulnerable adult and need help with adaptions and equipment and help (financial) with having carers at home.

As for where you belong on PC boards, hey, you belong where ever you want!
