Does anyone know if this is something anyone does? 

I feel like I just need to speak to someone because my head's all over the place regarding what I want to do. I know I don't need to have it all worked out now, but it'd be nice to have some direction.

I've spent many many years trying to work it out on my own, and I think I realised that it's not really working anymore.

  • Hi!

    I'm not sure if this will be helpful or not, but it could be worth asking your GP to refer you to the Social Prescribers in your area. They will pop you on a waitlist to get connected with a social link worker who is a point of contact for many different services. From what I was told by a nurse I saw they cover a whole range of things, and if they don't do it themselves they know plenty of charities/other services who can offer support, which includes socialising, independence, and careers. There should be services in your area, but you just need to ask to get referred via a GP. 

    Hope this helps!

    Ah, I didn't know that was a thing. I was on Universal Credit for a while but I didn't really get the support I needed from them. I'll look into it, thanks!
