(((((((((Griffe))))))))))))) Sometimes those questions suck! I get that a lot - at least the senior citizens seem happy that someone else can relate to them! (Well, sometimes... otherwise their reactions to my disability leave me a bit embarassed!)

I'm sorry. I don't know what it's like to "lose" something ... since I've always had a disability.

I'm at the point where I spend so much time wondering: does my depression stem from the disability, does my depression exist at the same time as the disability but isn't "caused" by it, or does my depression make my dealing with my disability more difficult?

I guess it doesn't really matter. But I'm sick of being disabled. It isn't always a "walk in the park" (pun intended)
