I can see that nobody wants to talk about their disabilities or diseases in this forum by the number of posts here. 0 . Well , I want to talk about disability. My disability is a common one , I guess. I suffered multiple back injuries due to the nature of my work. I’m not wheelchair bound yet , but getting there. I can’t stand up straight.
Had failed back surgery. Besides the constant pain I’m also suffering from severe depression and anxiety. There were many times I wanted to cease to exist.
I’ve been very lucky , if you want to call it that. The main reasons I’m still living is because of gratitude and mindfulness. How people respond to these things vary as much as there are different people ! But for me , I’m grateful , not for the fact it could be worse , but for whatever little I have.
