  I had an incident the other day that has shut me down emotionally.  I have endured abusive relationships my entire life up until 10 years ago.  Since then, I have lived alone, and I like this because I answer to no one but myself good bad or indifferent.Thursday I had a friend who I thought I had a good friendship with with good communications go off on me over something that others were doing.  I am not talking about grousing or venting.  I am talking full on with hatred and venom.  It...

  Hanger prosthetics Difficulty with fit

  Hi;  I am a 41 year left knee disartic amputee.  Up until my current prosthesis I have enjoyed a good fit and good cosmetic appearance.  My current prosthesis is from Hanger.  Simply put, it sucks.  The fit is awful and I have a problem with sores developing due to pressure points that should not be there.  They were supposed to copy the prosthesis I was using when this one was made.   That prosthesis fit like a glove.  I would still be using it except that the mount on the socket is...

  I have found I am caught in a vicious circle that is what my life seems to have become.  I am still recovering slowly from the knee problems and do not know how far this will go.  I miss my life as it was before all of this started.  I feel empty and hollow inside.  It is as if I am living more in my head than anything else.  My reduced mobility keeps me home.  I stay home because I am uncomfortable with others when I am not home or at a safe place for me.  My apprehension is not new as...

  I am running out of whatever it is that makes life worth it.  I have no one who is in my corner emotionally.  My recuperation is stagnating to the point where I cannot see a lot of progress week to week.  My back is bothering me and my weight is up making everything harder to do.  I would say I am tired but I am not really doing anything that I would consider capable of causing this.I just feel so alone.  When I say this, I am not talking about physically being alone.  I actually like my...

  Hi; I am 62 and live alone.  I am an amputee and have been for 42 years.  I grew up in an abusive environment; both physical and emotional abuse; and married into an abusive relationship and after 20 years, I managed to find another abusive relationship.  Nothing like consistency.....I finally got free of my latest abuser in 2006.  Since then, my physical health has deteriorated due mostly to the wear and tear on my good leg.  I have had an active life in spite of my being an amputee.I...
