Very pleased to meet you Gail. It takes some guts to acknowledge that you're dyslexic. Ignore anyone who comments on your spelling: they haven't had to struggle the way that you have. I'm so glad that you've found a living situation that works for you 🙂.
 
Hi Gail and welcome back!

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. I know changing living arrangements can be very challenging so it's nice to hear that it has helped you! Has there been something in particular that you feel has helped you the most?
 
Hi. Welcome back! Yes, I remember you too from the forum although have not met you in person. I am so pleased to hear you are doing so well both with your diabetes and your mental health. Many of us here struggle with that and it is tough at times, but really great to hear that you are on the up and have a living arrangement that is suiting you well and I am sure your more stable BG levels will also be helping your mental health too. Great to hear from you again and especially with such positive news!

Welcome back @gail2 .
So good to read how well you are doing.
 
Welcome back. 🙂 Why did you have a break? Were you badly? Residential living sounds just the ticket, what exactly does it entail? I'm thinking of it for myself. It might save me leaving the loo light on all night especially if I've been reading ghosties. :D
 
Lovely to see you posting again @gail2

And it’s given me a real lift this morning to hear how well you are doing, and how you’ve been able to work through some of your challenges. <3

Would you like us to merge your old and new accounts so that all your old posts and threads come under your new username?

did a fresh start course first {3 GCSES} Then a Access course then my degree It was in my Access course that it was discovered i was dyslexic Suddy it all made sense. It was given a 20% allowence on each assighment you attached a sheet saying that where the meaning was clear the marker had the 20% allowence

I'm always incredibly impressed by people like you who've overcome significant disadvantages to succeed academically. I used to think (arrogantly) that whatever success I had academically was down to my hard work - until I realised that actually it was more the result of the multiple privileges that I was lucky enough to be born with.
