Have you had to deal with judgment due to disability or for receiving disability benefits? Living with MS is hard enough without the added guilt and self-doubt. It never fails to amaze me what people say to me or how they act. I went on a tear and wrote an article about it (link in bio) These are the sorts of comments I get: “I wish I could stay home all day.”
“I wish I could do nothing all day.”
“What do you do all day?”
“Why are you so busy? You don’t work.”
“Why are you tired, you don’t work.”
“What do you mean you don’t have time? “You don’t work.”
“I’m sure you could work if you wanted to.”
“It must be nice not having to work.”
Who can relate? What is your experience and how do you handle it?
