About Myself
I am a 25-year-old young lady living independently in the Merthyr Tydfil area.

I am a wheelchair user(electric) and use a hoist transfer due to mobility issues.

I have excellent cognitive abilities and can voice my own wishes and views.

In 2019 I was diagnosed with Diabetes I am insulin dependent and use a Libre scanner to test my sugar levels.

This remains very unstable at present and requires close monitoring.

Additionally, I suffer with anxiety, which has resulted in feelings of being isolated at home due to fear of going out.

I can be very anxious when accessing public places. I may require some emotional support and reassurance when I experience increased anxiety or low mood.

Besides my disabilities, what matters to me is having an opportunity to live a fulfilled life with as much independence as possible.
