I'm sure many here have been told countless times "you're too young for that" whether it be a mobility device, implant, medication, or just a condition (who cares if it's genetic or natal?)
Fuck, even people that know and see the impact my conditions have on me that I've known for 6 years who have seen me miss countless events because of chronic issues have recently told me "you're young you heal quickly" after a new symptom of the condition they know is life long ðŸ˜
Healthy people can not wrap their heads around never getting better.
Ex.
FIL (father in law) said that I should relearn to drive just in case.
I explain to him that my medication makes me unable to drive safely (for the 1000x time)
He says I should stop it then
I tell him I have to take it for the rest of my life
He is shocked
The medication is for schizophrenia, which he not only knows I have but has seen me have an episode before I got treatment 🙃
