When your young you have a idealistic vision of what life should be, go to work and do a good job and you will be rewarded. Then one day you become disabled and now you find yourself fighting for a small stipend and prove to the SSA that you are disabled enough not to work. I had all those dreams of a pain free life even if I have to wear the full leg braces it's better to be just disabled and not in constant pain. I miss the person I used to be ready to explore the mountains with my dogs and go for a swim in the lake. I miss having friends although friendships are hard when society looks down on my disability and I have to cancel plans because of the muscular dystrophy. So I decided to reshape my dreams so I'm not heartbroken when I look into the past and I'm 58 and became disabled at 40 so I have lived 40yrs without major pain so I'm happy I got to spend those years .

So if you find yourself thinking about brocken dreams then it's time to change your dreams 🙂#Anxiety #DegenerativeDiscDisease #MajorDepressiveDisorder #MuscularDystrophy #RareDisease #OCD #disabilty #Allodynia #hyperalgesua
