Realizing you might be disabled can be frightening and confusing. It's perfectly ok to feel that. But you're not alone in this. Disabled people have been around since the begining of times, fightinig for our right to live and be happy. You've got your back. Welcome to the family.
Also : feel free to ask any question here. I don't want to leave you alone with those heavy thoughts.
