I too suffer from both visible and invisible disabilities. My visible disabilities stem from MS, 2 strokes, and RSD. I walk with a cane for short distances and use a motorized scooter in stores, plus I wear a patch over my right eye, My invisible disabilities include cognitive difficulties like short term memory loss and inability to handle complex matters on things like computers, cell phones, etc.; partial complex seizures; and severe depression, PTSD, and GAD. I don't drive due to all of this. I am extremely isolated. I am caretaker to my partner who is as ill as I am. He sleeps or is almost catatonic much of the time. I feel more like a nurse than a partner. I do my best but did not expect this. I feel inadequate to this job but do my best. Sigh. I would like someone to see me as a femme sometimes.
Namaste,
Lady_Wu
