From people who came through it

  • β€œFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are in 2023. Back then it was learning to use a wheelchair. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy.”

    tori.dawn Β· been through adjusting to a disability
  • β€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad and my nurse specialist has been more useful than the consultant, if you have one ask for their number, go slowly.”

  • β€œI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't, but you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong so I had to stop googling so it made everything worse.”

    Uğur from Istanbul · been through adjusting to a disability
  • β€œHello 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.”
