hi there. You sound a bit lonely and in need of someone to talk to. Are there any mencap groups near you ? Or other groups you might join?

I found a lovely group called Bringing Us Together headed up by Katie. They are so lovely and understanding. They are on Facebook and have a website too. Try them. they do zoom calls and webinars for large groups from time to time and run some excellent courses. Reach out to them and some local groups. Which part of the country as you in ?
