Action for M. E I've found very good. I have access to a counsellor who I speak to for 30 mins. I also worked with an advocate there on my housing issues. We worked together for oh I'd say 4/5 mths she was amazingly incredibly professional and understanding. She got things done.
I am now sitting well laying in my new home 3 mths later x

I'm glad that you've found someone to talk to. It doesn't seem possible that you've been in your new housing for 3 mos. already. As I recall, you even bought a new sofa....sitting pretty, huh?

@Emmarose47, what about your medical problems....have they ever been resolved? I hope so. Yours Lenora

Emma Rose - I belong to Phoenix rising for awhile. But how did you get a counselor to speak to? I have gone thru pages on here - can't find how to get counselor. Also need help on housing issues - I need to move now and it's very hard to know how to do this. Let me know, thanks Starlily

Hi star lily

Re housing I got an advocate via the same charity.
