Disability challenges

What are your biggest challenges?

Everyone has challenges, such as disability, financial, social, educational, unemployment, mentally, etc. There are a lot more than I named, but my biggest challenge is my disability.

My disability affects everything I do. The way people see me. The job I can get. How much money I make. Since, I use one arm and walk with a limp, it is very easy to get looked over for some good opportunities. I still attempt to live through all that life has to offer me. I do not plan to give up on life; even though it gets hard because I still am living. I need to make the most of this life. Even though it is hard to be disabled. I have no plans to give up on life.

My depression is sometimes hard to handle. I have problems getting out of bed. I get up by eating an apple and drinking coffee, but the yogurt puts me back to sleep. That is another challenge of mine. Eating yogurt and going back to sleep. I probably need to drink more water and less caffeine.

I am depressed because I did not get any justice for this injury (shot in the head). My family let my cousin get away with shooting me in the head. I am pissed off, the cousin walks around like he did nothing wrong. He is like a cockroach in hiding. I don’t know where he is and my family keeps us apart. They think I will go ballistic on him, which I might because I don’t like being disabled.

My other challenge is finances. I am in a lot of debt. I have a degree, but since I am disabled it is hard for me to utilize it. Some people are afraid to hire me, when they see me walk in with a limp. One of these days, I will get a job with my degree, I just got to keep trying. I cannot give up on my degree. The challenges are all too real. Thank you for reading.

      1. You did not sound like your normal self but I understand just keep on trying. Focus on you and leave your cousin to his own conscience and his maker. No wrong thing goes unpunished.
        Isn’t Against the law in your country for you to discriminated against because of your misfortune.? That’s so wrong !

      2. Yee I keep trying and I leave my cousin to his own devices and yes there are laws that protect people with disabilities from not being discriminated against, but they have not worked so far. I guess I have to be patient and wait for the right job to come along. It will happen. I have faith.
