I think if you were insecure prior to being a wheelchair user, then it is quite possible that you will still be after.

Very good point, freewheeler! I do think that those with pain or B&B issues that are not sufficiently managed, or those who have been rejected and abandoned by those they loved, might have a different perspective--just being overwhelmed with unchosen changes. These things can blur the lines and feelings be transferred against one's chair/self.

It is quite understandable, yes, to think that someone will have negative feelings for their wheelchair. It will be an inner struggle considering what it represents for the person when taking into account the above which you have rightly mentioned wavewolf,

Yes the chairs do suck. I hate it but at the same time I'm thankful for it. They're my legs that compensensate for my actual legs and I pretty comfortable in mine now so I don't mind. Though I'd do anything to get outta it and use my actual legs again!

FYI , and all due respect as a moderator dude, you’re nuts.

Hey, I had the option to take my situation and be miserable about or to accept it and live my life happily with it and I chose the latter. I know it's easier said than done, but it's not impossible. Don't give up bud.
