Since this has backed you into a corner, maybe you're afraid to walk through life without crutches (helpers, excuses, etc.). It can be really scary to walk on your own two feet, especially when you keep bumping into things and falling.
Toddlers seem to have the key because it doesn't seem to bother them. Those rascals just pick themselves up and keep on trying. Then again, those cushy diapers they wear might have something to do with it.
Maybe you can try to take your first step on your own. Who knows, maybe you'll reach the cookie jar! If it's too scary, maybe you can put on a diaper first.
Just tossing out a suggestion here.....hope it's not too stinky.
