Thank you for sharing your thoughts on what being disabled means to you @Sparklebright63!
I'm sorry to hear that people have been horrible to you, and that you're feeling as though you hate yourself. No one should be used by others. It's important to try and surround yourself with positive people, who lift you up. However cheesy that sounds!
Are you receiving any support to help you manage your weight at the moment?
