I got to use my wheelchair for the first time since my surgery and it was so nice. I felt a little guilty asking my boyfriend to lug it out to the car for me so I could go with him to the store but he was so reassuring and sweet. I'm honestly very lucky. I just wish i could get over the guilt i feel, the constant thought in the back of my head that I'm a burden. the imposter syndrome too. but I pushed through it and I'm proud of myself. I even got a compliment from a biker lol. is there any way you guys deal with guilt and imposter syndrome?

      i’m still learning to deal with this myself. the realness of the imposter syndrome when i (a 18 year old, “healthy looking”, girl) park in the handicap spot and don’t use my wheelchair and just walk into the store.
