It takes a special kind of person to ask four quads anything!

Hi Aaron,
If you ask 4 Quads a question, you'll probably end-up with 4
different answers. Don't let the ''slack'' you get about your opinion
get to you. I know sometimes it's enough to make a person get depressed
and throw up! Don't let anyone stop you from giving other
Quads/non-Quads advice on what works for you because you'll never know
when another person will find help in your advice. Stay strong.
:-)
With Love,

You guys really
confuse me. I share what worked for me and I get all sorts of slack,
but you give your opinions and thoughts and it's all OK. And, yes, I
do deal with depression too.
"the worst thing that
somebody can say is to get over it and get on with your life" - This is what
works for ME, that's what makes what I said MY opinion. I grew up
under the "buck up" philosophy and live that way.
Back to the original
poster: I do hope you take something from our input. If none of our
methods or advice help, then please seek professional help.

I agree with you Dave, that was a very shallow response that Aaron
did. It proves that he also has issues and might be suffering from
some depression himself with an answer like that. When I joined this
list approximately two years ago the people on here were caring and loving
and wanting to help each other. Now, somebody posts something and a
few people have to tear them apart like it was the worst thing that ever
happened. The depression is nothing to play with and the worst thing
that somebody can say is to get over it and get on with your life.
Life is always not an easy when you are able-bodied and when you became a
quadriplegic can depend on everybody else it's that much easier and there
are times that I even feel depressed because of the lifestyle.
We live in the greatest nation in the world so why would anybody even
compare us to a poor nation with quadriplegics with no wheelchairs or
medication or anything like that. Why do we have to live like they do
when we're giving billions of dollars for foreign aid and still cutting our
aid here in United States for people like us that truly needed. There
is not one person on this list that would not give anything to be able to
walk again and if they are saying that they enjoyed this lifestyle they are
either lying or have bigger issues than the most of us.
