Hi @Shaz51
It’s so lovely to hear from you 
Oh Shaz51 I’m so deeply sorry to hear everything that’s been happening for you and I’m just so pleased that you were able to share your experiences here with us
Absolutely In my experience, we often underestimate the ways in which living with a chronic health condition can impact people’s lives and their mental health and wellbeing.
Sadly, so many of the losses associated with living with a chronic health condition are dismissed and / or minimised. In my experience, this not only exacerbates people’s distress, but it also creates a variety of barriers that make it increasingly difficult for people to receive the care and support that they so desperately need
Given everything that’s happening for you, I just ever so gently wondered if there’s anything that we can do to support you?
Please know that I’m thinking of you and sending you some very gentle and caring hugs at such a difficult time
Take care of yourself,
ShiningStar
