Allow me to introduce myself
Hi, I’m Solas, born and raised in Co. Wicklow, Ireland. I lived in Edinburgh, Scotland for many of my adult years, but illness forced me to move back home to my parents in 2018.
I live with multiple chronic illnesses.
Depression, anxiety and PTSD for decades now.
Chronic Fatigue fi got in 2017 after catching a flu virus.
I got diagnosed with Diabetes around my 18th Birthday. It's not type 1 or 2 but a genetic type called Mody3.
I wanted to take this time to introduce myself to you and share a little about my story so far. I am currently writing this from my new home in italy.
My solo drive from Ireland to my new home in Italy
When I planned this trip I expected to have 2k in my bank account but since life always brings challenges I ended up leaving with only €400 in my bank account.
I have always considered myself a lucky person, but 2 days before I was due to depart my car started acting up and one of the doors stopped locking. Not ideal when you plan to sleep in your car in unknown places, alone!
Rome : where this middle aged women sleeps in top bunk with no ladder
Once some time passed and I felt brave enough I went down to the reception and demanded a key to lock out the room from the inside while we slept. Some minimum wage doesn't really care dude, tried to explain that there was no key and nothing bad happened just an unhappy customer.
He tried to tell me we were safe as he was there.
