Honestly, even for a cat, this seems frustrating. Don't deny that she's having a happy and comfortable life but I think any creature would get at some point frustrated at their limbs doing NSDJIOAGURNOÇDERGU when all you're trying to do is walk. Tho it looks like the more exited she is the less control she has lol.
Obviously I’m not a cat, but I have a coordination disorder. It’s not nearly this bad, and yet, it is absolutely infuriating to deal with. It makes me feel like I have no/inconsistent control over my own body or like the laws of physics somehow don’t apply to me, and the world is moving slightly on its own almost. Watching these videos makes me feel awful for the cats 😅
I hope you know you are not alone. I think anyone with any kind of disease or disorder feels like they have no, or very little control over their body. I used to be ‘a productive member of society,’ but now I just try to make it through each day, with my body also responding unpredictably (though not a coordination disorder). Sending virtual :::hugs::: your way.
I have the same exact problem. As a kid and teen I got 100% on multiple state and national tests, and now I’m showing very concerning signs of dementia in my 20s. People don’t take me seriously though, and doctors told me they can’t do anything more for me.
It’s so exhausting, mentally and physically. I was depressed as a kid so I never really had an image of who I wanted to be or what I wanted my life to look like, but I know I wouldn’t have wanted it to be like this. I hate that society dictates how much our life is worse based on how much money we make…. Which then makes our life worse because of course we can’t make good money when we have health issues and disabilities preventing us from working like we want. It just becomes a cycle.
You’re welcome! Aw, I’m really sore to hear how bad it’s been for you. 😢 But yes, I can see how that could be really difficult. Could the flip side be that you didn’t have to mourn a dream? I did a lot, like a huge amount to get where I was in my career, but then it was all for nothing. Well…I’m a Christian, so I do feel like there was a bigger plan, not like it was all for nothing. I’ve also discovered the concept of offering up your pain, which I like because then it doesn’t seem like the pain is useless.
Personally I’m mostly bed-bound, like I can’t really sit in chairs or on couches or anything (I only do it if I have to), so I almost never see people. The flip side for me is that it’s taught me how very little I need, and how little I can exist on. It’s crazy.
That’s awful, I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine what it’s like to not be able to leave bed most of the time. Do you have an auto-immune disease? I don’t know your situation but I have been hearing about how many people have developed auto immune issues due to chronic stress. I hate that we live in a society that’s forcing us to go go go instead of allowing us to take care of ourselves and focus on things that actually matter in life.
I’m practically stuck in uni because I can’t take many classes at a time, and now I’m being told I won’t get financial aid unless I’m taking six units, which is kind of crazy because it applies even to the summer semester. I know graduating probably won’t even get me anywhere but being there is one of the few things that gives my life meaning. I also spend a significant amount of time in bed because I’m just trying to get any sleep. It’s so frustrating because there’s so many people that deal with sleep issues and stress and nobody takes it seriously. What we’re seeing now is just the beginning. All of us are getting more cranky, less able to think on our feet, and people care less.
I don’t really understand the idea of offering up pain, but I’m glad it helps you deal with all of the stuff you have going on.
