I have an able bodied partner and the guilt I have around not being able to keep up or care for him like I want is massive. How do you cope with guilt and shame around your condition or feeling like a burden?

      Just yet and do whatever you can do. Make sure they know they are appreciated.

      I stay productive. (By stay I mean sometimes force myself)And that for me looks like cleaning house, tending to animals, I like to draw, write and garden as hobbies and therapy. But in between keeping my mind occupied, I do feel the same way šŸ’Æ šŸ˜„

      Itā€™s a constant struggle for me. When Iā€™m having a good day, I try to offer to go do things with him even though I know Iā€™ll pay for it. Itā€™s not our fault. Our bodies have betrayed us, and itā€™s out of our control.
