I lost all hope I’m feeling lonely but I lost all confidence in myself with my eyes. No job, no money, can’t drive, live with my parents I don’t have much to offer. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror or pictures n I think I look so ugly with my eyes.

“You lost your confidence” “where?!”

Drop foot and balance

I really struggle with drop foot and balance. I hate it and really impacts on my confidence at going out. However, I recently discovered Barefoot shoes and have definitely helped with walking and feeling the ground. I still use a walking stick and/or walker but feel more confident now.
