By “broke” I mean it forced me to make the needed changes to better accommodate my particular challenges. Take care of you 🌹

Text in picture: “I have a disability, but I’m NOT disabled!”

This was the phrase I said out loud that finally broke me.

I have theories on why I feel this way. But the truth is: this is hard to admit and talk about. I said that out of desperation on the phone with my job supervisor in the parking lot of my doctor’s office.

I don’t like to be pessimistic or post overly negative things often. I prefer keeping my posts light and encouraging as it’s so easy to get pulled into a rage-bait undertow in places like this.

Disability isn’t the end. It’s hard, it’s unfair, and it’s frustrating. It’s a change.

I’m adapting and I’m trying my best.

I didn’t choose this, but I can make the decisions needed to accept and work towards my own betterment.
