Is guilt normal?

      I have recently become disabled because of CIDP. I use a rollater and a wheelchair.

      I sometimes feel like I am “playing” disabled, and that I should be able to walk without assistance. But the reality is that my legs don’t work right, and even with a walker, I sometimes fall down.

      Is it normal to feel that way? I don’t know exactly how to explain.

      The biggest part of the battle is from the shoulders and up. I am ten years into this sometimes nightmare. Like me you didn’t ask for this And you absolutely do NOT deserve it!

      • My sister has to help me. Be my caregiver. I do what I can but I realize my limitations. They are permanent. I don’t feel guilty. I have balance problems, a drop foot because of CIDP and weak legs along with other medical conditions. I will pray for you. May God bless, comfort and strengthen you. Amen

      I 100% feel like an imposter. Like man, just hurry up sometimes zoning out and I’ll walk and catch myself off guard as to why I’m walking funny. A few weeks ago I was picking up 50lbs bags of feed. This week I’m buying a new coffee mug with a thicker handle because my fone motor skills are so week. I 100% feel guilty my husband has to take up my responsibilities after a long day at work. “My nerves don’t work” is a lot harder to understand than “I broke my ankle” I’d say it’s such an invisible ailment when you look so normal.
