Saying Hello!

[Spanishfly_909]

Hi everyone, first time here I am recovering from a spinal injury 6 years ago and suffer from chronic pain and paralysis. I have CPTSD and suffer depression and anxiety. And panic attacks on social environments.

hope to connect with people that might understand my struggles and get guidance and support and offer the same if I can. 
hello all.

Hey @Spanishfly_909 - lovely to have you here!

Thank you for sharing so openly, that takes real courage. What you’re living with sounds incredibly challenging, and you’re not alone here. Many community members understand chronic pain, trauma, anxiety, and the isolation that can come with them.
You’re very welcome in this space, and to lean into the support of others in the community who may recognise parts of what you’re going through. I hope you find connection, understanding, and support here, and I’m glad you’re offering the same to others too.

Feel free to introduce yourself here in the Introductions space, and please know you’re not alone here.
Wish you a gentle day,
liminalzest

Hi @Spanishfly_909 

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you have been through/are going through a lot. I really hope you are able to find support and guidance here. Do you have any hobbies/things you like to do in your spare time?

my previous hobbies are no longer achievable for me , like working on cars, travel, golf and outdoor landscaping and gardening. I have tried potting but need assistance with that so now I am trying to find something else that will peak my interest. The problem is pain limits how long I can do it. I did try volunteering but I felt like I was letting people down when I had a bad day and could attend. 
so to answer your question- Not really
