I’m thinking of doing something

I can’t find any groups that meet or anything close to me. I want and need friends. I am feeling super beyond frightened for my future!!

I can’t move.

My legs have completely given up on me, they are unbelievably solid, like Stonehenge. I am currently on no medication, trying to see if this is a relapse or something. This has lasted 2-3 weeks already and seems to be gradually getting worse. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could be doing to im...

I woke up a couple of weeks ago with a really stiff neck and it was really hard to sleep and move it which I put down to camping in the garden.
