**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.

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.
