> people and family tell me it is no big deal and I need to deal with it

How do you deal with them after hearing something like this? The resentment and/or feelings of guilt are too much...

The people I just yell and cuss out. The family part is harder. I know they love me, but they have no clue what is going on when it comes to simply walking. They can be supportive, but if I tell them I can’t do something like take the trash out it can turn into an argument. At that point I’m usually accused of using my disability as an excuse. That really sucks. Sometimes I just do what is being asked even though it is at my detriment.
