Re: Annual health check
That's a good question . It's because I have a severe mental illness. I think I first had one in 2006-7 then after a few years I stopped being contacted for a few years and was then contacted again . I've had 2 since being here in Wiltshire .

Annual health check

Re: What are your cognitive strengths and weakness ?
After being on their site for a while, doing their brain training games , I wouldn't recommend it . That's not because the games are bad , but because the scoring leaves a lot to be desired . There can be large moves up or down within a short period of time that makes little sense .

Avoidant ?

Re: Help! Mental Health, Emotional and mental wellbeing
Anxiety is something that occurs with my Asperger's and schizoaffective disorder . Very probably being dyspraxic ,although not officially diagnosed , adds to that anxiety.
