Dear all, I developed a website and iPhone App to try to connect people like us. When you sign up you do so as a carer or a service user. Then others who have signed up with the same issue will be connected to you. You can then message or even talk via the app. If you don’t feel up to that you can even play games like chess or connect 4 with your connections. This app is purely to help and no data will ever be shared. I created this app to try to help people like myself. When I was alone and desperate if only I’d had have had access to my App it would have made the world of difference. To connect with someone who shares your illness or that of someone you care for is a brilliant experience and I’ll use my diddlyboo too if only to speak to anyone who shares an illness. It is very rare unless you go to a group to ever get to connect with people in the same situation as you. Eg No job, living with parents, totally alone, desperate all does not matter as those you connect with will understand like no one else could ever. The app costs £5 after a free trial to ensure you are who you are. This is to make the site as secure as possible for users. I run the site and created it when I had nothing and then as I rose from the ashes I used every penny I could afford to create it. But now it needs publicity and advertising to reach out to people who need it. I have support from both Alastair Campbell and Frank Bruno who are both suffers themselves. Nick Petrie (Founder)
