Hello @Littlenanny, thank you for your post. We hope former care professionals on the forum can share their personal experiences to help, as people who really get what it feels like.

We understand it must be hard for you to accept that you need help or ask for support. It can be a hard step to admit this. And you won’t be alone in feeling this way.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. We’re at the end of the phone if you’d like to speak to our trained advisers or Parkinson’s nurses who can listen to how you’re feeling and support with information and advice about all aspects of living with Parkinson’s. Call us for free on: 0808 800 0303. We are open Monday to Friday: 9 am to 6 pm and Saturday: 10 am to 1 pm.

You can also find what groups, support and social activities are available near you on our website to help build your community of like-minded people who are in a similar position to you: Parkinson's UK groups | Parkinson's UK

Take care :blue_heart:
