You were not a princess. You have a disability just like the woman on crutches. You are so strong! I hope that when you look back on this, you see that you decided to stay for you too. Not just to make others happy. That day you proved to yourself that YOU were worth staying. YOU!
I’m very sorry for what the lady in crutches was going through, but there’s never a reason to be so rude. I was sure when she saw you she would know that you had an emergency, but no she decided to lead with cruelty and name calling, without knowing what she was talking about and that’s so wrong.
Thank you for sharing such a tremendously difficult day. You are such a gift to us all of us to share such pain so candidly. I love you for this and your continued inspiration for me and beacon of hope for so many. 💜
Kate.. the defender in me got so worked up I wanted to punch judgmental crutch lady in the face! Yes, that is how good your writing is. Damn the judgers! Damn the hallucinations! You’re a fricking warrior, my friend!!
Why the woman didn’t think to ask if you were okay is beyond me. Just because someone has a disability shouldn’t make them less empathetic but more so. Maybe it’s how she copes with her situation by lashing out at others. I think you handled everything beautifully.
I’m sorry that in such a difficult situation that entitled woman made you feel so much worse. Thank you for writing and sharing this. The fact that you not only had to battle your own mind to be able to go to work, but also people who are so narrow minded and self centred that they forget that so many disabilities are invisible and everyone has the right to use those facilities - and use them WITHOUT having to explain themselves 💔
I know I’m behind & catching up with your posts but I really do appreciate you sharing and learning about your story feels so important to me 💜
Oh Kate, this chapter broke my heart again. I LOVE the last sentence though.
I wish they all could be happy chapters for you all but that would a lie. I swear they’re coming!! And I so appreciate you sticking it out 💜💜😘

I absolutely was staying for me too. I Judy’s didn’t know it at the time. Soon enough though! Soon enough! 💜💜😘
The invisible disability right there. Oh what a painful day. 💔 The fact that you can write about this is a testament to your inner strength Kate. 💪 💜
Thank you 💜💜💜 and I think it’s also a testament to my belief that all of this must be normalized to address the suicide epidemic.

Your transparency is remarkable. I truly can’t get enough of it!! I am so proud to support you❤️💜
You put me right there with you. And boy! did I want to punch that woman in the face. Wow! I just wanted to hug you so tight until you felt ok...
