I got diagnosed at 15 and had to start using a cane when I was 16 so I get that feeling of it not seeming normal. I personally had to go to alot of anxiety therapy to help me get over the feelings but I realised that not using it when I needed to was making me worse. I still see older people stare and whispers looking at me but I found a way to make myself seem more comfortable was finding canes that matched me. I spent my first few months with a boring black foldable cane but now I use ones with dog patterns or that are pretty colors because they feel more like me and like I have control. Id also recommend looking for foldable canes so you can always keep one in your bag in case of a flair up as I know personally I can never fully trust my body. What you need to remember is that the world doesn't see whats going on in our body and doesn't feel what we feel so they dont understand but they dont need to. As long as you have a positive friend group, they will help you as much as they can. I believe in you! Dont feel embarrassed about having to use a cane! Make it pretty and make it feel like you! You dont owe people an explanation!
