I have nc for this
I am disabled and recently been confined to a wheelchair which at the moment we don't know if it will be perminant or not.
I have always been on the large size and a comfort eater. Before my health deteriorated however I had managed to lose 3 stone unfortunately my effort has now stalled because of my health and ability to exercise.
Today my DP and I were shopping and whilst he was putting the shopping trolley back I overheard a conversation where adults were discussing between themselves that if I lost wait then 'obviously I wouldn't need to be in a wheelchair' and then they turned to the children that were with them and said that if they ate too many sweets that they would be fat and need a wheelchair like me.
I wanted to say something but was too upset to do so.
I shut the car door and burst into tears. When my DP got back to the car I just fobbed my state off as being due to the pain I was in (I am in constant pain) as I knew that he would have said something.
I am cross with myself for not saying something. For not explaining that I am paralysed through no fault of my own. That I am in constant pain and take a ridiculous among of medication a day.
I am also concerned that this is what people think about me when the see me out and about.
So MN am I wrong to be upset and am I wrong to not have said anything.
