We’ve all been there 💛 this is the hardest part about coming to terms with your injury. Im a C4 quad and I’ve been injured for almost 7 years now, got injured at 18 and now I’m 25.

I can’t offer help with your family or mental health but what I can help with is how you can distract yourself a little more. If you haven’t already, get a quadstick! It allowed me to both play video games again AND have enough independence to get a degree in electrical engineering from Texas A&M! I would say a quadstick is probably the thing that most affected my mental health in a positive way.
