Walking ... and Falling

[4got10one]

Falling is a terror. I was trying to walk without a cane or walker. I am immeasurably discouraged. Fear fuels anger and anger fuels self-harm. I can't express anger externally; I turn it inward. St Paul is clear that anger is a sin. [Galatians in Morning Prayer today.] Dad didn't approve of it either: "There is never a reason to be rude." I'm angry

So sorry this happened, I saw the picture you posted and was worried you'd been mugged or something until I could read it. I can totally understand your frustration; I know it is not the same scale at all but it is definitely tough reckoning with the things I either used to be able to do and can't, or have not been able to achieve and now probably won't. And--like you--I blame myself. Maybe not rational, but it's mine.
