On Monday I visited a therapist that helps with daily living. It was honestly heartbreaking spending 2 hours talking about how bad my health has gotten and how much I still hide from my family about it. Some things are just embarrassing to talk about that I can no longer do like getting dressed and showered every day. It was a very wonderful discussion with the therapist and I learned a lot as well as got commended by what I have been doing and learning on my own. She is going to help me find more gadgets that will help me with daily living and it is honestly soul crushing for my independent soul to realize how much help I really do need.
I know I say this often but I truly am concerned where I will be in just 5 years.
Even more disheartening is the fact I have often wished for various gadgets to help me and now here they are and I will be using things no average 24yr old would be using. I will be using things disabled elderly use and my own grandmother doesn't even need.
Despite the sadness I am Very glad I have found this therapist that will help me on my way and understands me and how I struggle. It was equally an answer to my prayers and a moment of heartbreak. Worth it? I think so.
