Dealing with Chronic Pain at Work

I use a walking stick. I try to tell myself if other's are judging that says more about them than it does me and then I try and focus on the positives I gain from using it. It's also funky pink as I like bright colours and it feels more my style. I get it though as my health is getting worse to the point I might need to use a walker with a seat and that makes me feel anxious but I will tell myself the same as I do with the walking stick.

I completely understand this. Most people at my work don't even know I use a mobility aid. The anxiety when you 1st get used to using it in public can be difficult, but it's so worth the relief in the long run. Good luck!
