Hi, sorry to disturb you, but someone close i know, gets seizures and its kinda a traumatising experience for them so they don't really talk about it, can you please tell me if there's anyway for you (someone who gets seizures) to communicate if you are about to get a seizure or anything in advance. Please don't take this in a offending way, I'm honestly just curious and want to help someone.
@Aditri Srivastava hi, im an epileptic who gets seizures. It kinda depends what kind your friend gets, have you ever seen it happen or know what type they have?
Once I was literally accused of stealing because I was seen standing from my chair to grab an item from an upper shelf. They thought I was faking my disability and stuffing stuff in my chair. I was not. Disabilities do not all look the same.
@@Ambipie well it actually did in the back.. At the time I didnt have a custom, so I was using a more traditional medical looking one (with handles removed) that did have a pocket in the back. I will give it to them that it not being a costum and having a pocket may have made it slightly more suspicious (if they knew anything about wheelchairs… which honestly isn’t likely based in their ignorance) but its all I had at the time. Also, the pocket had nothing in it (except a glasses cleaning cloth and a random receipt) so it was flat against the chair. Im not sure how they would have even seen it or come to the conclusion that there was any products inside lmao
I have ME/CFS, I can walk but that would mean I have to spend a week in bed recovering from it. I have a power wheelchair for preventative purposes, the same way I wear glasses. There's really nothing wrong with my eye sight, it's just the illness that makes my muscles so weak it affects my eye sight too.
My sister has a blood pressure condition where she faints really easily. Just standing up would do it. So uses a wheelchair too. Says has gotten a lot of flack from people being clueless idiots.
Some old people I know like to switch between a walking stick and a wheelchair every now and then. Depends on how much they can handle on that particular day.
I am also so one with physical differablies.. had r.a. since I was 7 now over 30 plus years later people are still rude.. especially with my Cain and park in handicapped spot and they say I am gonna call the cops ..your too young.. ya GO GET IT GIRL
My aunt has lupus and also quite extreme hyper mobility (she has very loose joints) and so she uses a wheelchair because she can’t walk for long periods of time. She also moved to Leiden because then it’s all flat.
I feel this. I get bad fatigue during my periods and pms which happens a lot lately. Sometimes I'm afraid of fainting and wish I could just use a wheelchair without judgement or money issues but I can't even afford one. Good u had that though.
I want to apologize. I saw the other video of you standing and assumed you were making fun of people with disabilities when i clearly didn't understand the situation. Im glad I checked first, but still im sorry for assuming the worst in the first place.
people think there's some huge epidemic of people "identifying" as disabled when in reality there's like 100 people who do it and none of them are bold enough to do it in public.
🙌 💯 Wheelchairs don’t equal no leg function in all cases. I want to design a better rollator that doubles as a wheel chair. I have one (drive rollator transport chair) and it’s awkward and painful to sit in when I need to be pushed.
I’m the same! I’ve been like that since I was 4-5, and I’ll be honest, my worst fear is someone seeing me stand up out of my chair and thinking I’m faking even tho I’m not 😅
Finally!! I can't also walk for very long due to my eating disorder, first it was for saving calories and not burning them because I was heavily underweight (doctor said I should've died) But due to my anorexia atletica my nerves and muscles had severely damaged to the point where i hurt from the waist down so much so that im not able to walk. I hope it heals but at this point the doctors can't say for sure because it's not sure how much I screwed things up. Yes people have told me it's all my fault before LIKE I HAD CHOSEN TO GET ANOREXIA ATLETICA NERVOSA. Sure my 14 year old ass was just bored and thought oh yeah let's get the most fatal mental disorder only to still actively fight the thought patterns to this day. Im 20 now.. But im doing better than ever, yes i still feel guilty. Yes I feel insecure. But i rather feel this than the hell that Is anorexia..
Yes! Wheelchairs are fantastic! So much better than having to sit on a nasty public floor every time I feel like I'm fainting and if I need exercise I can push it like a walker for extra stability! I used to be self-conscious about people thinking that I didn't really need a wheelchair when my legs aren't paralyzed and I still am some days but using a wheelchair has allowed me to do so many more activities than I would have had I insisted to only walk.
omg people say the mental equivalent of this to me all the time i swear. i’m autistic and people always ask things like “how come you have to take breaks in class aren’t you an ap student, you must be faking so you can have it easy” like girl just bc i’m smart that doesn’t mean my brain functions perfectly all the time. and another thing is like “how come you hang out with your friends but hate big family gatherings” dude i don’t have to mask around my friends and that makes the interaction less mentally taxing, it’s honestly so annoying when ppl don’t even try to understand what it’s like to struggle bc of a disability and just ask rude questions instead of trying
If you don’t mind my asking, where did you get that cane? I recently started needing a walking aid and I want to find cute ones cause normal ones are so not cute 😭
I have a rare type of dwarfism And I’ve had many surgeries, recently too, so I’ve been needing to get around with my manual chair, recently my parents. Sibling and I test drove a converted van so I was able to bring my power chair! It was so much fun and easier because I could raise my seat up/down when looking at things, and my arms wouldn’t be tired from pushing myself. We went to a few places and I got the occasional stares, but these women at Ross just gave me glares as if they were p!ssed off by my existence (I’m not saying ALL women are mean about things like this. Just saying my experience with hopefully finally having mobility without the hassle for my mom who takes my manual wheelchair in and out of our current car which is old and not converted)
Thats like asking anyone why would you ever sit down if you can stand? Why lay down to sleep if you can sit? Why ever walk when you can just run the whole time? 🙄🙄🙄
I know someone and because of autism stims causing them to walk on their toes they can’t place any pressure on their ankles without the risk of breaking their ankles
those in the know know you're supposed to stand up as much as you can safely, but the wheelchair is for people who can only do it for 2 hours in an entire day rather than 16
People feel so much shame and get shamed and judged for so many reason they should not be. And why? Because some other people pretend things to get benefits. I hope one day we can be ourselves and do best things for our health without any shame around.
I used to know a guy with glass bones and he got the "why do you use a wheelchair when you can walk" pretty often, like, sure he *can* walk but doing so would shatter his legs
If you're reading this comment, I'm on a mission to spread as much awareness as possible (so feel free to copy and paste). The world We live on is slowly dying, and we're to blame for it and there is ways we can slowly start putting it together piece by piece, so please take this comment seriously and educate yourself and newer generations about things we can do to help the earth and the organisms living on it before we all become extinct. This isn't the only issue. Most people have become so intoxicated that it makes humanity feel suffocating, so remember, show others what it means to have kindness because at the end of the day, we're all alike in many ways and this world needs more kindness. Good luck and stay safe :) (Also amazing video)
I’m not trying to be rude at all but I was wondering what your condition is? because it seems you may have a similar thing to my sister. If you don’t want to tell me I completely understand.
There’s something I don’t get with those with disabilities, most of the time, they treat disabilities as a curse because they only focus on what they can’t do, it’s ridiculous and painful, and could cause diversity to die..
@@Dubbadizzo86 I don't know a persons pronouns I use "they." You are ignorant and rude and should mind your business, no one is faking. Watch the video, fool.
so she can walk after all! definitely would help getting bio energy so you can walk fully without getting tired. sitting in the chair will deteriorate your legs so fast you won’t be able to walk at all
I may not have any disabilities but I can stay that you're doing an amazing job and stay strong...I hope that's not something upsetting...sent with lots of love tho🥺🫶🏻🫶🏻
I get paralysed and have seizures so I have to use a chair. But I can walk well. Just not safely or reliably. I’m the picture of health visually.

@Aditri Srivastava hi, im an epileptic who gets seizures. It kinda depends what kind your friend gets, have you ever seen it happen or know what type they have?
So relatable. I'm not cracking my head open or dislocating my hip just because I can technically "walk".
Once I was literally accused of stealing because I was seen standing from my chair to grab an item from an upper shelf. They thought I was faking my disability and stuffing stuff in my chair. I was not. Disabilities do not all look the same.
Bruh what kind of chair has pockets
@@Ambipie well it actually did in the back.. At the time I didnt have a custom, so I was using a more traditional medical looking one (with handles removed) that did have a pocket in the back.

How dare you use a mobility aid to aid your mobility! /S
Some people look at me as though a miracle has happened in front of their eyes when I get up from my wheelchair and walk a little 😂
i thought you were gonna be like "why do you use a car if you can walk"
Some old people I know like to switch between a walking stick and a wheelchair every now and then. Depends on how much they can handle on that particular day.

Ooh if I saw that…. They would probably be in the hospital!! That’s so disgusting
My aunt has lupus and also quite extreme hyper mobility (she has very loose joints) and so she uses a wheelchair because she can’t walk for long periods of time. She also moved to Leiden because then it’s all flat.
I had to use wheelchair for a while because really bad anemia
I feel this. I get bad fatigue during my periods and pms which happens a lot lately. Sometimes I'm afraid of fainting and wish I could just use a wheelchair without judgement or money issues but I can't even afford one. Good u had that though.

A lot of people tend to think that people in wheelchairs can't walk AT ALL so they are confused by those who can still use their legs
people think there's some huge epidemic of people "identifying" as disabled when in reality there's like 100 people who do it and none of them are bold enough to do it in public.

Honestly, this is new knowledge for me as i thought wheelchair people cannot walk at all.

Its like asking why do you wear glasses if you can see.
Why do you wear oven gloves when you can wave your hand through a candle?

People need to mind thier and business.. I had someone ask me how I could have cptsd when I'm not ugly.. Excuse me, what?
I know PTSD is post traumatic stress disorder but what does the c stand for? Sorry if it's rude btw
WHAT?? 😭
OMG THANK YOU It is so important to educate ppl on this
You must be lying because we all know health isn't at all complicated or hard to understand. (Sarcasm if you couldn't tell lol)
Same for me, my feet also naturally turn out so I trip on many things easily
Thats like asking anyone why would you ever sit down if you can stand? Why lay down to sleep if you can sit? Why ever walk when you can just run the whole time? 🙄🙄🙄
I know someone and because of autism stims causing them to walk on their toes they can’t place any pressure on their ankles without the risk of breaking their ankles
Grab the milk? I'm good.
Do the MONTH'S SHOPPING?
NOT SO FUCKING MUCH!
Lmfao
I feel with you. I can't walk alot too and the most ppl can't understand, why i have to sit alot.
My mother could technically walk.
For like two steps, so yeah, she really does need a wheel chair even if people keep asking why
Same situation sister
I'm visually impaired and can pass for able bodied until i need to see detail.
I been in a wheelchair for all my life that is because I have spina bida and i dont always use my chair i walk with a cane👩🦽🩼
Don’t know if this interests you but my sister uses a cane and hers has an attachment with spikes for sand or snow. Also your hair is amazing

They really do. People are so so incredibly rude.
Fellow ambulatory wheelchair user here!
AH this girl's hair is so cool!
Just reply “why do you use a car when you could just walk everywhere”
YOU ARE VALID
I'm sorry. Your hair is amazing 😱😱
You go girl!! ❤️
I love your smile 😁
Wow some people are uneducated, jeez
Off topic but where did you get that little bag on your chair? 🤔
Honestly the only reason necessary is "because you just do" ain't nobody's business but yours, ppl need to learn to mind their own business

You’re saying you don’t just use it cause you can potentially hit people on purpose? Weird.
questions with common sense answers my abhorred
That remember me that streamer who got up from is wheelchair after stream.

There’s something I don’t get with those with disabilities, most of the time, they treat disabilities as a curse because they only focus on what they can’t do, it’s ridiculous and painful, and could cause diversity to die..
Why are you faking your disability then?
They're not faking.
@@asmrplushpaws You mean SHE'S not faking? I'm not going along with dumb pronouns and lying.
Yeah, because the constant daily abuse disabled people get is so worth faking it for.
@@Dubbadizzo86 I don't know a persons pronouns I use "they." You are ignorant and rude and should mind your business, no one is faking. Watch the video, fool.
they're not faking they're disability lmao
so she can walk after all! definitely would help getting bio energy so you can walk fully without getting tired. sitting in the chair will deteriorate your legs so fast you won’t be able to walk at all
I'm sorry are you her doctor?
That's not how that works for people with disabilities at all
this is incredibly insensitive. No one uses a wheelchair because they want to, if she's using one it's because she has to
I may not have any disabilities but I can stay that you're doing an amazing job and stay strong...I hope that's not something upsetting...sent with lots of love tho🥺🫶🏻🫶🏻
