Hi to you all, I am new here

BikerNikki

Hi Everyone, I am new year after finding this community. I was diagnosed last year in 2024. I am a 46 year old female living in Hampshire in the south of the UK. I am feeling lost and overwhelmed since my diagnosis and I also have other complex mental health conditions. I love nature, like growing food, and raising animals, along with engine mechanics and all mechanics. I love the solar system and can talk about these interests all day long. I am shy but I am hoping to find some answers to why I am feeling so withdrawn at the moment.

    For non-electrical tasks (non-ESD environment requirements), the internet search engine phrase of the day:

    safety tool lanyard 

    (Enables tethering the tool but still operating it e.g. at height without dropping it on someone, or in an awkward space ...without the inevitable, wretched, hunt-the-tool sense of humour failure.  Also helpful in cold conditions; when wearing more durable gloves means: reduced dexterity and an increased risk of dropping a tool).

    You do electrics? Sigh, I have just had my landy re-wired as I struggle with electrics and there were a few issues to deal with. It is rewarding to be able to solve a fault. I enjoy working on my landy but dyspraxia makes it hard as for every five minutes of spannering, it is five minutes picking them up.
