I have mobility problems but the worst thing is admitting that I need help. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi @Jackwood welcome to the community! Many of our community members will be able to relate, including myself. I think it's part of the process to accepting what has happened.Disability Gamechanger - 2019

Hi @Jackwood how are you doing today? It's not an unusual, a family member couldn't bring themselves to ask for help. Like Ami said it's a part of the process. Please feel free to interact with our members on the physical/mobility impairments discussions group. If you have any questions, please let us know

Hi @Jackwood yes I can relate. I had an Rtc 7 years ago. I was 23 and my life changed forever in an instant.... to this day my head tells me things my body laughs at... every day is a struggle but I think by coming to this forum, which I’ve only just joined as well will help and is admitting you need some support whatever form that might take. Good luck and well done for just being here mate ??
