As someone who lives with dyslexia, and all through my school life, was written off by numerous teacher, friends and family, I tried my best not to let it affect me, however, the more I got told “I was stupid, worthless and a waste of space”, the more I started to believe it, in my teens I ended up so depressed, I started to self-harm, and after I was involved in a near death accident, I decided to start living my own life, I decided no one would put me down the way these “friends” did, it took me a long time, but I got there, or to be honest, I am GETTING there. I now work as a carer, and am a small market creator, making my own jewellery, home decor, body care and crochet. I am writing this blog to hopefully reach out to people in the same place as me, and to let you know YOU ARE NOT ALONE, there are people out there that will help, it may take years, it may take months, it may take, weeks or even days, BUT you will come through this, you will find people who REALLY DO care, not just the “fake friends”.
Living with disabilities can involve a variety of experiences and challenges, but it’s important to remember that everyone’s journey is unique. It’s essential to prioritize self-care, seek out supportive communities and resources, and explore accommodations and assistive technologies that can help improve daily life. Additionally, connecting with healthcare professionals and advocacy organizations can provide valuable support and guidance. If there’s anything specific, you’d like to discuss or explore, feel free to share more details!
