Hi all you wonderful Forumites,

I came to this site when I was partnered with someone who had severe mental issues that impacted on me in a very traumatic way. I felt like I had entered a whole new world and the Forums helped to educate me whilst providing support and companionship in a safe and empathetic way. I have also been through several other difficult family events since joining. .

I identify with both the Carers and the Lived Experience Sides. I feel like I have come a long way but there are times that get me down. I live with my daughter, a dog and a bird. I enjoy walking (a lot) and yoga.

I try to see the beauty and goodness in everything and everyone.
