Why do I feel so guilty using my handicapped parking pass?
Since getting a 90 day placard from my cardiologist, my health has actually slightly improved. I use the placard everyday at work, since I work at a resort that requires you to park in a parking garage, walk to take a bus, then walk to where the offices are. It added a mile to my daily walking and the 20 minutes from those transitions actually fatigued me so much (especially since symptoms are way worse in the morning).
I have dogs and feel so guilty using handicapped parking if I’m able to walk them 10 minutes a day. Noone at my work knows about my handicapped parking yet, and I’m so worried they’ll confront me about it and I’ll have to overshare to defend myself. I’m so dang grateful to have the placard for giant parking areas, but the invisibility of this illness is tough.
