I haven't bought a WHEELCHAIR yet. Why I keep putting off buying a wheelchair. Internalised Ableism

After doing a couple of videos where I tried out wheelchairs, I decided I was going to buy one, and then several months passed and nothing happened. I’ve been putting off buying a wheelchair over the last 2 months and I wanted to talk about my fears and reasons for not having bought one yet. I discuss fear of investing in such a big purchase, the idea that buying a wheelchair is admitting that this is my life and the internalised ableism that makes me feel the having a wheelchair is in some way failing.
I do still plan on buying a wheelchair and I am working through these fears, to hopefully purchase one soon!!
Everyone with ME/CFS is different! So you or someone you know might have a very different experience with ME/CFS than I do at the moment! Also, remember that chronic conditions such as these can change dramatically over time, so my life may look very different to this in the future (and has be A LOT worse in the past).
Thank you so much for watching!! Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe to see more videos from me every other SUNDAY!
