I don't, therefore, think it appropriate for you to be told how to feel or how these conditions affect you. These are severe, lifelong & incurable conditions, so it's probably useful to listen to what experts have to suggest, but it wouldn't be professional for a member of staff to tell you what to do about it*, but rather give you a variety of options that you may or may not wish to take up.

If you have a carer, then you aren't being treated in the same way as an able bodied person by definition. This isn't always a bad thing, when I was a child I used to offer to do jobs to help elderly and dusabled neighbours, but I didn't do it for those able to do it themselves!

“Severe”? RC you really do know nothing. It’s comments like that from your type who assumes to know everything (or even something) about a person’s condition that builds up resentment. Stick to looking after your own life rather than imposing your own ideas on others.
