Manga I have ankylosis spondylitis and I feel your pain literally and also figuratively in every sense. I have shunned females in many of my 32 years of living, as I don’t want them to take on the burden of my pain and condition. This is the wrong way of looking it as I’ve pushed many people away due to this mindset. I’ve changed this outlook very recently. I wish you all the happiness and kind fortune that a positive mindset brings manga. Before anyone says something sarcastic to this I’ve had gfs and I’ve pushed everyone of them away but no longer will I do that.

Remember that the person/people making a negative comment against you never has any power over you. They only do this because they're actually trying to deflect their own inadequacies by attempting to make you feel like they already do. Miserable. They hide behind the anonymous crutch of a phone/computer screen to spew out their negativity. You're much, much greater than they will ever be or aspire to be.

[@Sixty_Five_Pronghorn]

To be honest, I’m really glad to have an invisible disability I was born with (Cystic Fibrosis). At least people on the street can’t tell something is wrong with me just by looking at me or meeting me for the first time. Also, because I was born with CF, it’s all I’ve ever known, so I can’t look back and long for the days I wasn’t disabled because I’ve been a mutated freak my whole life. However, that does not mean my CF is just background noise. CF often takes over my life. Everyday I have to take mountains of medications, get some exercise in, do physical therapy so my lungs don’t get too clogged up, and yet I still get sick often because my immune system isn’t as strong as it should be, so oftentimes things like work, appointments, holidays, and other stuff like that has to be put on hold which has made my social life very difficult. I also can’t go swimming in anything except for salt water, because fresh water has bacteria in it that can make me really sick. I also can’t drink water from a filtered source. My water has to come directly from the tap to my glass because I can get sick from bacteria in the filter. Most of my friends are also disabled, because they’re the only people who don’t get offended when I have to cancel plans last minute, or who scoff at my issues. Just because I appear normal and healthy doesn’t mean I am, and this goes for a lot of people with invisible disabilities. Unfortunately, normal people don’t usually get that. Not even my own parents seem to get that, which sucks. But, ya know what, at least I have disabled friends to talk to. We bitch about and make fun of the people who do the same to us.

I can definitely relate to the older man saying that his disability is an inconvenience. I developed a couple of chronic conditions a few years ago when I was about 27 and I really have a huge hangup about being a burden to anyone. My conditions are “invisible” so I often pretend to feel a lot better than I do. It’s a complex situation and it’s kind of strange to now be able to truly relate to people with disability. I work full time but I remember speaking with a support worker who told me that I’m literally classified as disabled and I really struggled to get my head around that concept for some reason. I kept thinking, I’m just me. Technically speaking, I am disabled. I guess it’s the thought of being put into the category of “other” or “weak” that I don’t like. I’ve always been highly empathetic but you cannot really understand it until you’ve lived it. In a sense it’s kind of nice that I can relate to certain people a lot better.

[@SinfulJon]

My mother has been disabled since she was 7. It was a snake bite to her lower leg, but doctors misdiagnosed it and time took its toll so they had to amputate her leg from the knee down. It was really difficult for her at that age, so they put her with the mentally challenged individuals at the hospital. So she had to endure what unfortunately plagued those hospitals at the time, physical, mental, and sexual abuse. Thankfully she eventually got out of there and tried to have a normal life. They lived in a really small town of about 300 people, so everyone knew eachother. She got pregnant around 19 but her mom and dad took her baby away from her.. for several years.. which I'm sure wasn't helpful to her mentality. But she met my dad and they moved to the city, and eventually got my oldest brother back. They had 6 more kids but lost one, which would have been my oldest sister. That caused her to go into a depression for a while. When I was born, the doctors had damaged my soft spot which caused my skull to grow unnaturally. I had to go through a few years of surgeries to fix it. Which I'm sure caused even more stress for her. My father was the best person, he was in and out of our lives since I was a toddler. She's been through so much in her life and she has always managed to still be there for her family. Even to this day she still takes care of all my nieces and nephews and always wants to help with making food, cleaning, etc. She is our rock and to me, the strongest person I have ever met. :) Anyhow I just felt like sharing that given the topic of the video. Which is a great video. But anyhow, thanks for your time and enjoy your day.

The new standards for disability payments in the UK are a joke. I have ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD & I suffer from depression and anxiety. I was on DLA for 12 years, I had a few assessments in between that 12 years and qualified every time. Then they introduced PIP and they took me off my payments. Then I got an assessment and I scored 0 points!! Not a single point. Apparently I coped well and I was basically fine overall. They also said that I don't receive any professional help, even though I see a psychiatrist and a phycologist every week!! And I've appealed 3 times and still I'm not entitled. It's an absolute joke. I was told that PIP focuses on physical disabilities rather than mental disabilities. Even though studies prove that people with severe mental disabilities have a much harder time completing day to day tasks in comparison to people with physical disabilities. The new system is an absolute joke!!

@@user-fo6jj4tm9m Also, I have arthritis in my knees, hands and my back was broken when I was 17. So I know how painful physical problems can be. It still shadows in comparison so let me give you a small bit of detail to being essentially a prisoner in your own home while your mental health sits and taunts you and bullies you and tortures you until you self harm and cut yourself or punch yourself until the muscles in your legs are purple and yellow with bruising. Then my PTSD kicks up and it gives me detailed and comprehensive flashbacks of abuse that make me relive a decade worth of beatings and mental torture. Then my PTSD also makes me have night terrors, so I get no sleep for days/weeks at a time. Add that to the fact that I am still trapped in my house and you can start to get some idea of how being mentally disabled is worse.

It didn’t come without huge struggles along the way, but I’ve documented from day one on my channel the personal growth, from suicidal thoughts to losing a lover and a beloved dog, to where I am now, content and happy living my new normal 😊

I love watching these type of videos, gives you another perspective. I would love to see "Old Police Officer meets young Police Officer".

My brother in law suffers a similar injury as the white guy. He went from a 15 stone tall muscley happily married man with two teenage kids (one with downs syndrome ) who worked as a builder and was successful. To 3 months in a coma, lost ability to walk, and communicate and had to relearn the basics 12 months down he road he has regained movement down one side but is wheelchair bound. And sadly mentally he will never be the same he can just about say the names of family members, needs full care with toileting and feeding and the very basics and his wife is now his full time carer . It's very sad to see the difference he lost about 5 stone and will never be the same again. It really made me realise how vulnerable we all are. And how life can change in an instant.

I have the same diagnosis as Nick, finished college & masters degree, married a beautiful woman and have two kids. But I can relate, definately.

I found it so interesting how both of them at some point said their disability doesn’t affect their lives in a certain way, while going on to explain the ways in which it does. For example, when the older gentleman said it didn’t affect his love life, but then said it does limit him in some ways. For able bodied folk, I think the idea that going to the grocery or bathroom or having sex being more difficult is very overwhelming, and yet they take it in stride. It’s humbling for sure.

Very inspirational 🙏🏽❤️ I’m dealing with disability due to stroke so I can connect very much to the discussion.

[@melopsicodelia]

I really like the honesty of the older guy, nice video.

[@johndillon5290]

The young guy is very positive, what an inspiration.

Holy shit Nick Hamilton is Lewis Hamilton’s brother. That’s crazyy

Left hemisphere hemiplegia, here; going to turn 27 in a few days. It seems weird when you have this glaring elephant in the room, but honestly, small milestones like first kisses, losing your virginity, etc. seem like big deals. In my experience, you want nothing else but to be perceived as “normal”; yeah, it sort of evens out as you grow up, but that want to have these seemingly small things is almost a hunger.

[@Kronse2601]

Yup. Can only agree with that. As he said in the video. You think you can never achieve those things, cause of how potential partners perceive you. And it's fact, that people look down on you, if they want or not. Kinda happens subconsciously.

[@teziis2367]

These videos are amazing, please make more

[@TubeFreak44]

[@kalodude]

[@alegit123456]

These two are class acts, great chemistry and great personalities.

[@plzytiamlight2guardian764]

[@nateone6632]

Damn I was happy to see this video I'm 22 it's not easy I don't foresee dating for a while. Crps one of the worst chronic pain disease known. It's also hard because I was healthy athletic and people say I look fine but my life's hell. It's called an invisible disease, also known as a suicide disease CRPS awareness and disability/invisible ilness

[@pr0xZen]

Dunno how the Tokyo paraolympics will fare now, but i hope he gets his final go at it. Gotta say, i freakin' love this series and format. Thank you. All I'd want more, is.. more. Like an optional extended conversation maybe, that allows them to do dive a bit deeper into themselves.

[@Oakhen93]

Please keep making these videos, they educating and inspiring.

Love the way he sounds

A friend of my Dad and his wife got her leg amputated from mid thigh and down when she was in her teenage years. Don't remember the cause, but she kept on swimming and, if I remember correctly, got into Elite swimmen and such. She has a prostetic she can take of and two crutches. Another friend of all three is a guy that has cerebral palsy, and he has won several Para OL gold medels for swimming. The phrase Nick says about life being 90% mental and 10% physical is so true in their cases :)
