Finding strength to show your disability for what it is

Had a visit from my younger sister today and I've shown her my disability for what it is and why I've hidden it all these years. We did a balance and memory test together and she had no problems at all me on the other hand cant balance on my left at all and I can only recall the first 2 words and the last word theres nothing inbetween. My sister doesnt remember much of my accident as mum protected her from the state I was in back then plus she were only 8 at the time..MASSIVE MILESTONE reached today for me personally..just had to share the news people👍👍👍👍

That’s such a big step!! My daughter has a brain injury and also has problems with her memory including face blindness (Prosopagnosia) and really struggles to tell others about her disability. She is getting a bit better at this but I can see it’s really difficult, so well done Hidden 👍🏼

Well done Stammers1-that takes lot of courage of courage. Small steps

Thankyou it was tough showing my sister as she has no memory of my accident but I had to show her to help her understand why I struggle everyday with a hidden disability which I've had since I was 11. I'm not so tough when it comes to showing my disability to anyone other than my family. My sister gave me a cuddle before she left that's all I needed from her 👍👍

Well done you. Wish I could make some of my family understand the mental turmoil but they mainly call me crazy. My son once called me nasty which no one had ever done before. It really hurt me
