@evidenceofbeth: there are much more damaging downsides to an injury that leaves you physically disabled; the abandonment by friends and family hurts much worse than the loss of abilities #s#spinalcordinjury#w#wheelchairlife#d#disability#t#truefriendship💙❤️#l#losingfriends
I am so sorry this happened to you. Going through things like this can truly be eye opening. I pray the right people stay in your life and keep you socially fulfilled. This life isn’t easy, but you are strong.

Thank you for sharing. It’s very difficult. I’m 10 months into T-1 incomplete. It really helps me to hear other people’s stories.

It’s another reason why I don’t talk about my disability to people . Spinal cord injury comes with way more than not being able to walk. It sucks and it’s not something we can change

The people who left you when you needed them the most were not your friends in the first place because friends don’t leave friends when things get rough. Friends don’t only want to be your friend when you can do for them. That’s not a friend a friend is someone who cares about you and what’s the best for you regardless of your Mobility status regardless of if your life is hard and in this day and age I don’t get the well. I don’t understand how to talk to you or I don’t know come on. There’s more people that are disabled. They’re out they’re visible that doesn’t hold water anymore. I’m sorry that you’ve had horrific injury and I’m sorry that your friends treated you that way you really need some wheelie girlfriends we stick together we understand each other. Walkers they don’t stay not many - there are a few but I find that guys will stick by you better than other women and that’s a shame when you are disabled but it’s a friend thing. It’s not a romantic thing which makes it frustrating if you’re interested in them and they just see you as a friend find some really really good friends. You will feel better and ignore the ones that are ignoring you. You don’t need them. You need new friends forensic care about you now not who you were before. Have a blessed day.

When the struggle touches others lives, that's when you find out the truth about the true depth of friendship. Most are only superficial and shallow.Im so sorry for your circumstances. You are a beautiful, courageous, intelligent woman. You deserve better. Stay strong.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

I know how you feel. One of my friends he always rubs it in my face saying I’m boring now. He told me about this movie called “What’s eating Gilbert’s Grape”. I never heard of it. He had it playing on his phone and he was laughing & saying I look like the lady in the movie, how she walks. If I don’t leave the house I’m gonna be like her. Next time he came over my house he asked if I watched it and that’s his favorite movie because it reminds him of me. I told him I don’t wanna watch that. It’s boring and that he is rude. He kinda was a a****** since we were teenagers. He’s so shallow. He thinks he’s better than me but yet he wants to come over to my house whenever he wants without calling just cuz I don’t go anywhere. He will volunteer to do things around my house and buy me food & things I need just to use it against me. I told him ever since I first started getting sick I don’t want him to think I’m using him. I don’t need anything and he was offended. He told me it makes him feel good & I should let people help me. He has messed around in my ex husband in the past and told me to my face the next time I have a boyfriend that he wants to share. That my son needs to change how he dresses but at the same time tell me that I should invite my son to sleep over so they can do “stuff” together. I come to terms back in December this friend is a narcissist. He kept telling me not to call uber to take my cat to the emergency vet but when I was ready & called him sounded like I was bothering him. He ended up asking me stupid questions and picked a fight with me on the way to the emergency vet just to leave me there. I don’t really go with him anywhere now cuz I don’t trust him to do that to me again. He’s told me he didnt like my cat and he would make fun of my other cats face that passed away by saying he had a frowny face. Hard part is I don’t have any one else except for one other friend. My brother isn’t around but pays him to do stuff around my house if it’s a big job since my “friend” has his own business doing remodeling and maintenance type things.

I think that people are afraid that we will expect special favors from them and they don't want to put forth the effort so they disappear.

I have a progressive neuromuscular disease and have been a wheelchair user since I was 44 I am 71 now. I don't think my phone has wrong with a personal call maybe twice in the past four months. a lot of my friends have left my side. and then I have the friends I promise me the world and never deliver. I have nieces and nephews who seem to have been avoiding me and I don't know if it is because they are embarrassed. or perhaps they don't want to be reminded that they carry the same gene that their fathers and mother carry. thankfully none of them or their children have shown any signs. I live in a nursing home and I get good care here. but I'm real tired of going out by myself. if anyone read this from Ohio Grace feel free to DM me.

Sometimes the answer is yes! :
Thing is were they really friends? Your personality alone would keep me around.

I learned the difference between friends and acquaintances really fast after my injury. I was a social butterfly that thought he had a lot of friends. Come to find out. I just had a lot of hanger ons. People who were just around me when I was doing good.

If we were in the same state I would love to meet you and be there when you need someone to lean on. I feel so bad for you cuz I know how it feels to not feel like anyone cares about you. My therapist has told me that I need to let people do stuff for me & that I’m worth it. It’s hard because even if I let them, I still feel bad or like I’m using them or having to deal with a verbally abusive friend like that friend I mentioned. I’ve struggled all my life getting along with people because for some reason I attract people that talk down to me or people that are abusive in some type of way. I also question what I ever did so wrong to be treated how I’m treated but when i eventually lose my temper I’m the bad person. I been looking into astrology to find answers and studying my birth chart which has helped me figure out why. I don’t like the results but it makes total sense. I just have to figure out how to love myself and transition into the person I want to be.
