Yes there is Liz, ‘For eight weeks , a volunteer will chat to you for around 30 minutes’ and this is the link to it: Weekly Volunteer Calls | Stroke Association.
Here’s the link to the post I got from, there’s also online activities.
Hopeless - #23 by Anna_Moderator
I too received lot of information leaflets too when I had my stroke, unfortunately I couldn’t do anything with them at the time, a little tricky when you can’t read, write nor speak anyway 
For you it’s your eyes that are affected, can you read at all with them?
The first 6 months is all about healing and repair in the brain. During that time, yes, you do feel lost and so very scared. This was a life threatening event after all and you can’t help but fear another one, we have all been through it here. Fortunately we live on to tell the tale.
The brain is under a lot of pressure to both perform and repair, so you may get fatigued very frequently. Slow and steady wins the race, good diet and exercise and keeping up with your medications are very important. There are going to be some up and downs over the coming months, this is a good place to off load any worries or burdens, it can be enough to keep you calm, to worry less.
You’ve done well joining the forum, now take your time and tackle everything one step at a time, one leaflet at a time, don’t try the mental juggling act needed to tackle everything at once. Stroke recovery is a marathon not a race, and TIA’s are also strokes!
This feeling of being overwhelmed is normal! And it will ease up in time, it’s just a matter of how quickly you come to terms with the fact you’ve had a stroke, and it will happen
