Tangent5280@lemmy.world 4 months agoI appreciate the effort you took to type the reply out. Thank you, this will help me a ton.
I have more questions but I don’t want to waste your time by sending you questions that came out stream of consciousness style.
If you would be willing to share, I’d like to know what kind of disability you have. DMs are fine, and even more it’s 100% alright if you don’t want to share at all.

I mean, I don’t mind. I’m into this stuff and I like helping others who are interested ^^
I suffered a hemorrhaging stroke at 21 that robbed me of physical and cognitive abilities, as a summary. On my right side, I lost fine (or any) motor control of my fingers, hand, lower arm, toes, foot, ankle, and lower leg, along with losing ~90% nerve response on that side too. Quarter blind in both eyes, struggling with speech, both processing and producing (extracting or counting letters from a word, or taking in ‘bulk’ info like a name and address without a pause, I struggle with hard). Emotional control, too, which is weird (example, happy songs, or songs that I associate with happy memories, cause me to cry even if I try and fight it). I am alive, but I haven’t ‘lived’ since it happened, losing a ton of abilities to do things important to me. I’m trapped in a body that has tried to kill me, I’m a prisoner of my own existence.
I have people that care about me, and I am grateful and appreciate that… but bluntly, it’s a struggle to want to be here anymore. I’ve been through therapy and it did help (I was in a bad state before, my fiancé left me and they were the last reason I had to keep going). But it’s just so devistating, every day.
Anyway. Shoot me more questions if you want =)
