Struggling with Chronic Illness: Need Help Communicating

@Javen Hey, since this post I have gotten forearm crutches it has been so helpful. It was very stressful and the conversation involved some tears but I’m glad I did it. It might be rough but I totally think you can do it. My mother had some rude comments and she nearly convinced me I’d be embarrassing to be around. But when I started using them, no one really cared. And some of my friends were super supportive. It’s a hard step but worth it. I even decorated mine to help me feel more comfortable : ) Maybe try to talk about it with some trusted friends. That’s what I did. They can helped me build up the courage. Good luck, you can do it 🤍
