Lack of mobility is embarrassing for me.

I am F (26) and I work 2 jobs. 1st job is a retail job and 2nd is a server job. For the most part I can handle it and my feet/legs don't give me too much of an issue. The past few weeks have been rough.

I've been in a flare up so everything has been so sore. I work my retail job in the daytime while my kids are at school and serve in the evenings. By the time I need to go serve my feet have pretty much clocked out. I am limping & hobbling where I need to go and it's embarrassing being looked at because of it or when someone asks me "did you hurt your foot" "what's wrong with you" "why are you walking like that"

I wish people didn't stare and could just worry about themselves. It's depressing enough to be in this pain and have to do it, I really don't need the commentary of others about it.
