Hi Toffeepop.
i have no answers for you but just wanted to acknowledge your post and say how very sorry I was to read of all the trauma you have suffered, and are still suffering.
My Paul died in 2016 too and I remember reading posts from you back then, when we were both on the first stages of this awful journey.
So we are both 3 years on, and like you I have been struggling a bit. But nothing like you are feeling. I am just so sorry and feel so sad that this has all happened to you. When did you move to Blackpool? Maybe you just need to give yourself time to adjust to your new life and to get to know people there? Easier said than done I know. i just hope there is more help out there for you and maybe Mental Health can help you find it?
In the meantime, I am thinking of you and send you a big hug. Keep posting on this forum. I still turn to it every day. Maybe just a habit I have got into but a comforting habit.
Love
Pneumonia is what my wife died of it is a horrible thing you feel so helpless
