it's just a tool, we use them everyday, a spoon.... a.door handle.... try if you can to see it.for what it is.... its a tool!. I recently had a handle put in my bath, I went through thus with that...

Well done for making a decision to using a mobility aid. It's there to make your life more manageable, for you and nobody else. Be proud of yourself sweetie 💕

This takes so much strength and courage. Internalised ableism is so hard to ignore and you are allowed to feel however you do. They are valid, including that it is very pretty!

I struggle with this. I hired a mobility scooter on a day out and it helped so much! But will I get one to use locally around people I know… nope.

Hey, I know this isn't what your looking for, but it's actually better to hold the cane so that the handle is facing forward and the cane is in like with your arm for better support

what does it help with? Just asking because I've considered one but not sure how they'd help anything other than balance or a sore leg

im considering a mobility aid but i dont know if i actually need one. i get pain very easily from walking (like in my knees, ankles, back) and get very dizzy and fall/trip and lose balance easily.

it's devastating 😢 💔 😞 it's like me watching myself. you poor girl. thinking of you. I will only use a crutch if I have to, but would rather stay home on days I would need an aid. 😑

I sometimes feel weird taking my sticks out, it is an adjustment but you'll get there :) I've got a little collection now, skulls and roses, stars and moons and just blue haha.

Start using it around your house to try to get used to it and then overtime it will start to feel more natural I know it’s hard cause I still struggle sometimes going out in public

You’re not using it because it’s a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength knowing you need that support. I felt self-conscious the first few times in public. Now I proudly wield my walking stick x
