Anxiety making me feel old

Due to my severe anxiety and mild CP, I've been using trekking poles on flat land now, not just hilly or rough terrain. I feel so old and undesirable now because of it.

I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed about, they’re just a tool to help you get around. Being able to walk is a blessing and they’re just a little support to help you feel more stable, thus giving you the freedom and independence to get yourself from one place to another. I tend to worry about what people think but one of my favorite quotes that I try to remind myself is “You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do” meaning people are usually too wrapped up in their own worlds to even notice!
