The experience resonates very much with my own after I discovered, about fifteen years ago, that I am not alone. I ordered my braces from Bob, rounded up a decent pair of forearm crutches, and indulged in some excellent adventures into cripdom for several days running. Unfortunately these had to happen far from anywhere I had lived because I was in no position to have my propensities outed much less live the crip life full time but it was glorious while it lasted. Had I made the not-alone discovery thirty years earlier my life might have been quite different, and much happier.

I know it's quite late for a comment but I just came across it now by looking for some relief. I cannot say that I feel depressed, not really anyway, but my BIID just doesn't let me go at the moment and I'm struggling to concentrate on everyday things that need to be done. No concentration for me today though. My presentation is still as unfinished as it was yesterday and not one tick more on my to-do-list. I hope this is eventually passing by. I will try and bear a bit of your philosophy in mind. Thanks a million! What a wonderful post! I know it’s quite late for a comment but I just came across it now by looking for some relief.
