I decided to take on the markets to full fill a creative side since my stroke. It’s not easy never will be sometimes I’ll forget things when I have to pack the car with support workers sometimes it will be a different support worker change is sometimes hard for me to deal with but the markets is a source of community involvement and building confidence for myself not every market will be a success some more then others but I cannot do any without the help of my support workers.
Another factor I take into consideration with markets being a disability participant is weather that can be a lack of motivation for me and my anxiety may increase more wet weather as a passenger so lil drives here and there help with a break in between is perfect.
Routine is something else i don’t deal with well if there is change at rhe last minite because in my mind I have it set what’s going to happen then it changes my anxiety increases having support does help the situation..
So this is a brief insight why I do the markets now also on the social side of things when my anxiety rises I don’t know when I might have a seizure I know there is people around but it’s still on the back of my mind what if I’m ignored but at lest there is people around is my thinking social rather being stuck at home should I have to be.
Also now I’d love to share a cuppa or two with a support worker who loves to craft and makes mugs and designs with me sometimes it is a bit lonely creating on my own. But I’ll be starting to bring some craft with me to markets and do some cards on the spot in company.
So as you can see it has its ups and downs doing markets for myself but very beneficial in many ways with the right support and I appreciate every support that comes along for the journey with me
