Aspects of living with a disability part 22 - Do I have a disability or do i only limit to myself

 As I said in one of my previous blogs, you are usually only a limit to yourself when It comes to your disability. Now I like to look at that because I always try to strive and get the best out of my time, but recently I have dealt with a considerable amount of mental health, which could lead to things that I don't like. What, you might ask? Well, it could be somethig\as simple as wetting my pants. Now at the moment, this happens way too much because I can't go to the toilet in public, so this usually means I have to come home to facilitate that, and if that is not doable, where does it end up? There is only one place it can. Do I get upset by this? Yes, I do, but I try to look at my experience positively at the end of the day. What do I mean by this?

And if I am being brutally honest right now, all I want to do is run away and play!!! But, like most things in my life, sometimes the things dearest to you get taken away. As to why life goes this way, when it comes to a disability, no one really knows. But you know my theory on this is that there are some disabilities that ain't as difficult to deal with as mine on some days. All I want to do is have a bad hair day and scream the rest of the way without anyone else knowing that you are really having a bad day. But the thing is with a physical disability, you don't often get to choose what you do with the lower half of your body. Most of the time what you do is often governed by the people around you. We all have good and bad days but it is all about choosing how to focus and redirect the energy so you can turn...
