   ADHD, Anxiety, Arthritis, Depression, Hydrocephalus, Seizures

   From A to Z, these are the disabilities that are a part of me.

   You can talk about them without talking about me. However you cannot talk about me, without talking about them.

   I cannot hide them. They do not go away.

     @cobalt honestly, one of the worst parts is that most of them are invisible unless you're around me for a bit.

     It leads people to think nothing is inherently "wrong" with me.

     Which of course my life is far from normal as I'm sure you know all too well.

     Thanks for chiming in. I hope your son is well enough.

     @BeAware Son has 4 of these. It’s always something. Empathy.

     @redrummy thanks, friend.

     I don't talk about most of them much. Some of them effect me more than others.

     I'm getting by. I hope you're doing well too.

     @BeAware Somehow I missed this about you. Depression & Anxiety I know all too well, the rest thankfully not so much. I wish you well.

     @cobalt oh boy, that's terrible.😔

     I'm sorry you all have to go through that. I wish you and your family the best, truly.

     Life is hard. All we can do is our best to get by.

     @BeAware that part about how we rush to ER about 6-7 times a year is when some people notice our family is “different”. Until my son started using a wheelchair 4 years ago he looked small and very young for his age. Unfortunately 4 years ago he was also diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s and dementia unknown type. Talk about not catching a break!
