From people who came through it
“I was right where you are a few years back. A prosthetic that rubs. That was my life. Yesterday I booked a holiday.”
brook_cloud73 · been through adjusting to a disability“If you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are in 2023. For me it was my old job I can not do now. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back.”
Tobe · been through adjusting to a disability“To anyone just starting this: I won't say it's easy. It's not. Losing part of yourself is a grief. But you find new ways. My kids don't care about my eye. They care about me. The prosthetic still rubs. I still cry sometimes. But I swim, I make playlists, I pray. You'll find your new normal, even if it takes a while. God willing.”
Lorry driver W · been through adjusting to a disability“Hello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. For me it was people talking to my partner instead of me. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy.”
