I was once told in group therapy by another patient that if they were in my place, they would *unalive* themself. My life wasn’t worth living to them. . “If you can find hope in your state, I can too.” I’m not sitting here in group therapy to inspire. Happiness can be hard to find in whatever state you are in. Depression doesn’t discriminate. “Good for you guys for getting out.” My group of friends have been told this several times. Disabled people can be independent and go out for strolls. It just gets frustrating... you know? . Video description: Claire sits in her manual wheelchair as text appears in the screen. The first reads “ if I was in your place, I couldn’t do it.“ The next quote reads “if you can smile, I can too.” Finally, the text reads “good for you for getting out.” Claire is a white person with pink and purple dyed buzz cut. They wear blue jeans and a shirt that says inclusion is cool. . #DisabledThoughts #TetheredCord #SpinaBifida #POTS
