Molly's Zone

Anxiety is most assuredly the most unwelcome guest at my table of life; I can't begin to describe what a struggle it can present itself as from time to time. Since the age of sixteen, I have dealt with this issue on many different, but equally as frustrating levels. Social anxiety, panic attacks, and the seemingly second nature act  of social isolation, as a way of dealing with   the embarrassment and stigma that is placed upon those who suffer in this society. Why am I writing about this?

Thank you so much for all of the support over the last two years. N...

Jessica Niziolek Freelance Blogger, Founder/Writer of The Abler Blog 9.12.17 Welcome to My Story My name is Jessica. I am 35 years old.

I had a major growth spurt which threw off my center of gravity, and I never regained the ability to walk on my own again. In school, I flourished and by the time I graduated from high school in 2001 I had a 4.0 GPA, making high honors all 4 years of high school  was mainstreamed in all but two classes by my senior year. When I graduated high school, I struggled with the reality of how the world and the state in particular treated young adults with disabilities. The assumption that all disabilities are the same was a rude awakening, and the way they abandon ship the moment you’re placed in a job, or position where things are settled for the time being and then that’s it, you’re on your own. It wasn’t ...
