I have compressive neuropathy and a heart condition (among other things) and barometer changes frequently trigger nerve pain which makes walking hard. I can't use a cane generally as the injury is in my neck and using my arms is even more painful

i hate it, but i always feel ashamed using my disabled parking rights when people are around to see me get out the car. i want one of those stickers that says 'look at the permit not at the person'
i also get all this internal anger and get into imaginary fights defending myself to passengers on the bus when i dont get up for old people when the bus is full. im young, and i may look healthy with makeup and etc. but im not healthy and i bet the oldies have a much easier time standing than i do!! sucks! but i duno, i guess i'd rather not look obviously disabled. it isnt anyone else's business. i have trouble letting it go though, im so paranoid people will think im a bad person when really im just doing what im entitled to.
even my friends used to be like 'woah man thats so cool, you have a disabled permit, how'd you score that??' like i'd jipped the system and was taking advantage. ugh. yeah i know the frustration and shame, and i get anger and frustration at feeling shame because i shouldnt!
i guess you just need to let it go and realise other dicks dont matter, and try not to be judgemental ourselves.
