Hey all
I have spent all my time on sane forums over on the Lived Experience Forum. I was actually unaware that this side of the forum was something I could help in or be a part of so thanks to you @bipolarbunny for letting me know
What sort of stuff do you over here?
Sorry, it's a bit new to me haha

@MDT it's always very valuable to the carers to get a point of view from someone who has lived experience... it's all very well for us to observe our loved ones from a neurotypical standpoint, but often the insights given by people who walk the walk on the other side of the fence help us keep things in perspective.
welcome aboard.
