Welcome

The subject of injury is delicate and complex for many reasons. One reason is the stigma often attached to injury. People often don’t want to speak about it because they don’t want to be seen as weak or untrustworthy in their jobs, or if they are soloists or freelancers there is a worry about being hired for jobs and maintaining income. Because everyone’s injuries are different and every person is different. Because of this, I’m not looking to give readers solid answers or endorse any one way of going about things, but my hope is that the simple act of reading multiple stories of others’ experiences will give people hope, as well as some ideas and resources to consider.

Please use the categories on the side to search for particular injuries or conditions that you are interested in reading stories of, or use the word bubble for key words, or simply scroll through.
