Lady Wu,
You are not disappearing! I hear you. You are not alone. I get the same.
Sometimes people don't know what to say when they see the disability. It is fear I think. I know online I am more vocal than in person. I struggle all the time with the ability to communicate. Sometimes I say something and what I am saying is not what I am trying to really communicate. It is so very frustrating. Then I get the one jerk who will post something belittling about me, but it is always underhanded or hidden in their post. Everyone knows the game. It is on all online sites.
Like you, I too don't go out much. My health is really struggling. A heart attack is what slowed me down a great deal. I just never thought in my wildest dreams I would be unhealthy at such an young middle age. I can understand how people have to make the decision to eat or buy a pharmacy drug.
Just remember you are not alone. I have a disability thread somewhere here. Please join us there. You are most welcome too. And please remember, nobody knows when they will become sick. It can happen at any time. It was that way for me. I was full of life, and having a ball. Then the next thing I knew I was sick. It was just that fast. One day enjoying life as an abled bodied guy, the next in the corinary care unit. Life changes.
Peace to you,
Drew
