I'm a 22 year old woman who had a stroke while using meth and coke. The stroke paralyzed my right arm and leg and messed up my speech. I can walk very short distances with a brace on my right leg and a crutch in my left hand, but i use a power chair to get around as I tire quite easily. I live with my mom, who is verbally and physically abusive, as I have no other place to live. I'm thinking of getting my GED and maybe trying to get back to school but cannot imagine ever being able to hold a job or live on my own.

ever since i got out of rehab after my stroke, over 3 yrs ago, i have been stuck at home with my mother who has always abused me physically and …
I'm sorry I bothered you. I am just trying to help, because your life isn't what it should be, even with your handicaps. There is help, and you don't need to keep leaving this life dependent on your friends to party, with a mom who is cruel and mean. I changed me life around totally, but only God gave me the help to do it. My life isn't perfect, but I always have the best friend anyone could want, and that is Jesus. I am really serious! I am so much happier now than when I was playing music in the bars and searching after the good life.
Anyway, sorry to hit you over the head, just wanted to help in the only way that has helped me. Jesus is there waiting for you, and yes, you may have to make radical changes in your life, which is all good. Maybe this life is all you have ever known, and ridicule for the straight laced Christians, but I have been there and back, and I know that Jesus set me free! and is helping me every step of the way. I was a professional musician for 7 years, and had all the free drugs and fake friends anyone could want. It just got worse and worse, and I became sadder and sadder. There is a new life just waiting for you to claim it, where you can do something to help other people, like I am trying to do now.
We believe the same. Wonderful to meet another who honours our Lady Earth!
Thankyou, and i also wish you the same! Are you pagan too?
Just read your story. You deserve a hug. We're all here for you.
Hello,
I am here to support you. You sound like your really having a bad time of it. So here's a hug to strengthen you on your path to recover.
my moods have been all over the place since 9th grade. they locked me up a couple of times but it didn't help
in addition to my drug use I have cut, burned, and hit myself many many times. after mny stroke i actually broke a bone in my paralyzed arm that i hate so much. these days i mostly cut and burn my useless right arm
i have been seeing double since i had a stroke about 3 years ago
I was incested and abused in every way u can think of since i was a child. I now live with my abusive mother and I abuse myself with drugs and self-injury.
i am borderline and cut hit, and burn myself a lot. after my stroke i hit my paralyzed arm so hard that i broke one of the bones in it.
i had a stroke 3 years ago and it has paralyzed my right arm and leg. i can walk short distances with a brace on my paralyzed leg and a crutch in my good hand but i need a power chair 2 go long distances. my speech and vision r also severely affected and people think i am retarded because of how i often cannot come up with the rite word when trying to speak
i've known i was gay since 4th grade. i had a stroke rite b4 my 19th birthday and since then only freak guys attracted to gimp woman have been hitting on me. it seems that not too many lesbians want 2 get into a relationship with a disabled woman.
i still use occasionally despite having a stroke that has left me with a paralyzed arm and leg and put me in a wheelchair, messed up my vision and also messed up my speech
i had a stroke because of my meth and coke use. i am now in a wheelchair and still am not clean
i started to drink my first year of high school and have never stopped
since my stroke i have lots of problems finding the words i want to use
i have flashbacks abt having been abused and incested as a kid
total right hemiplegia from a stroke
