I wanted to share my story with other people, as I understand how difficult it can be living with a disability that people can’t always see. It’s challenging and often frustrating. I hope that by sharing this, it will allow people to feel like you are not alone, and things can get better with time.

Thank you, Lissy

You're candidly exploring a really important subject here, so thank you for sharing this @Lissytaliaa. How long you have been blogging now?

Lissytaliaa

Thank you very much! I’ve had a few people respond to me elsewhere saying they’ve experienced the same thing and they’ve found they have been able to relate to it, which my exact aim of my blog. This the first thing I’ve ever written, so about two days ago haha!

Adrian_Scope

Wow. Well, I like that you've been really honest from the off. Did you enjoy writing it?

Lissytaliaa

Yeah, it felt good to finally write about my experience as it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s scary sharing something that personal, but it might make people more aware that things may not be as they seem, just because someone is acting a certain way. I thought now was a good time to do it as a lot of people are probably living alone - or not - and may just be worried about everything that is happening in the world.
