  • HAVING A DISABILITY CAN REALLY KNOCK SELF CONFIDENCE. WETHER YOU ARE IN A WHEELCHAIR OR NOT WE ALL STRUGGLE WITH CONFIDENCE AND SELF ESTEEM. The biggest thing I struggled with was being stared at in my wheelchair when i went out.
    In this video you will learn a few useful things to help with self confidence, learn to be happy and gain self love.
    After suffering my spinal cord injury i have really had to adapt in life. So Im sowing you my disability lifestyle to raise disability awareness. as a disabled woman and a woman in a wheelchair who is paralysed, I thought it would be interesting for you to see, and hopefully give you some inspiration and motivation so that you can live more independently. wether you are paraplegic or quadriplegic i hope that i can help you.
    i have lots of interesting disability videos, a lot of videos on how to cope with a disability and living life in a wheelchair, wether you are a girl boy woman or man. i have some paraplegic exercise videos, and advice. its important to keep your fitness levels up as much as possible as this can when physically and mentally with depression.

    Thank you for your channel. I was in an accident over 5 weeks ago, and although my situation is different than other posters on here as it is temporary, it's still jarring to going to being physically active (stairs, walking) everyday to suddenly being unable to walk and needing a wheelchair. I've been struggling with my confidence, as well as with being stared at. It's shocking to me how rude people are, how people don't even move out of the way on the sidewalk for me to pass, or if crossing the road people turn right in front of me not waiting for me to finish crossing. As others on here, I also can't leave my house alone and need assistance, although I try my best to do all the wheeling myself. The positive of this so far is I have really strong arms now from wheeling myself around, but I get so exhausted and winded. But thank you for your channel, dressing for the chair will help with my confidence. Putting on makeup has been a struggle so if I have time I've been doing some makeup, just basics if I have the time. I now need to figure out what to do with my hair, I just keep it in a ponytail and even then when I'm outside the wind just blows my hair like crazy. haha

    I just recently started using a wheelchair (sometimes). One of the very first times I was in a wheelchair, I was in this super narrow hallway and there was this little girl that was staring at me the whole way and looked really uncomfortable. I looked her in the eyes and I smiled and I said hi. She smiled and said hi back and then stopped staring. I felt way more comfortable and confident. I'm still pretty uncomfortable in a wheelchair, but I am getting better.

      thats a grate way to deal with it. It will get easier, but the feelings are always there. you are always aware of the stares. People are just curios. xxx

    Oh my goodness I don’t use a wheelchair but a stick. Only recently I have stopped hiding my stick in pictures etc and mainly since I came across neo-walk

    I am confident that the stares are fascination with you and your beauty. Admiration and wonder, both. Not to say it wouldn't still be annoying. I would have a hard time not looking, yet being shy about saying hello.

    I'm thinking of getting myself a wheelchair for when I go to uni because I have fibromyalgia and I don't really know how I'm going to react to the staring. I already have tourette's and use a walking stick, so I've become pretty accustomed to people staring at me 😅

    I've had to start using a chair most of the time about 5 months ago I have two little boys. I was just wondering if you have any tips for when your kids are toddler age (3ish)? That stage where they are past the baby wearing phase but don't quiet have the ability to understand yet?

    'It actually makes my life easier.' It WHAT?! Excuse me, can you please be honest?

    • @Wheelsnoheels
      @Wheelsnoheels  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes because if I didn’t have a wheelchair, I would have to crawl everywhere, or be carried! I wouldn’t be able to look after my daughter, or take her out for the day. (I do say that in the video)
      My wheelchair is my lifeline, thanks to my wheelchair I’m able to go out and live a life! Not stay at home crawling on the floor, or in bed all day.
