Hi, my name is Erin. I am 47 years old, and my mobility is worse than my 78 yo mother. Maybe I did more athletic things when I was younger (I played D1 soccer) to accentuate my advanced symptoms now? I don’t know. But if you are in the 40-60s range and would like to vent, so that your family members get a break :(, I would love to form a small group. I’m an occupational therapist, so I know many physical strategies to help manage symptoms (and I’m happy to share what I know), but that doesn’t help my mental health. And the need to just talk, so that I don’t take things out on the ones that love me
If you are interested in meeting in a smallish group—and are 40’s to 60-ish—to talk about the anxiety of going to new places, to have support and/or just to vent–Maybe we can have a group..?
No obligations or expectations—just a small, supportive space to talk about living with OPMD as a younger adult and how it affects our day-to-day lives.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, message me.
