Struggling to accept + isolation
Disability Support / by strawberryblue97

...See more So, I have a mild/moderate hearing loss (last I knew of, could be worse now) that I've been struggling with for about 5 to 6 years now. I was not born hard of hearing, so it's been a struggle for me ro adjust, especially since I'm only 24. I was already struggling with depression since I was very young, and the hearing loss/tinnitus made it so much worse. It made me more isolated. I don't have friends anymore and I struggle to interact with coworkers because I can't understand most of them and have a hard time keeping up with conversations. I live in a small town so there's not really any irl support groups I can go to around here. It just sucks so bad that this is my life. There are things I want to do and experience, I want to interact with others but I CAN'T. Sometimes I feel like I could beat depression if it wasn't for this. Having a hearing disability means permanent isolation and social rejection
