my coping strategies stopped working
Channel: Footless Jo
Date: 2020-09-09

What happens when all your mental health coping strategies just...stop working?

A bit of what I'm experiencing, and what I'm doing about it.

If you feel a similar way, please know that you are not alone. You're not weird or broken. You (and your life) are worthy of seeking for and fighting for help. If you're dealing with depression or mental health issues, please find help. Reach out. Talk to your doctor, a therapist, a friend. You'll get to the other side of this - as will I. 💜

MY STORY //


Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.


MY PROSTHETIC LEG:
I use the Ossur ProFlex XC Torsion foot/ankle with a direct socket with passive vaccum suction.
