Anyone find they have no paients for anyone after amputation anymore?

I swear a switch flipped in my brain (RBKA 7MONTHS AGO) and i get so pissed so easily, i try not to take it out on people but ooooooooohmygodddddddddddddd... people are IDIOTS, infantilisation, ableism, "inspirational" for just fucking living i have no patience 😔... i've ALWAYS been disabled but i just shrugged it off but now everyday i feel im having a aneurysm over these dumbasses.

this might be part of the grieving process? idk, but i've felt like this literally since the day i woke up 💀Most of my anger is systemic at inaccesibility and ableism. But i don't want to take it out on the average person because its not their fault that disabled people are so neglected in the cultural sphere that genuinely, our live's are like a entire different world to them. which is just ridiculous because we're just as common as the sunset. And its not their fault they don't even realise they're being ableist. Any advice?

edit: i realise its patience the moment after posting... it's to late to change 😔✌️ its 11pm...

Any tips for traversing hills? Would a eletric scooter help?

Im a RBKA, its been 7 months since amputation, still on interim leg however i live in the hilliest part of my city, Kid you not i go outside and the "steady" slopes are ATLEAST 30degrees. I am losing my mind, i don't have a drivers license and Im utterly trapped in my house unless someone drives me. The closest bus stop is a 17 minutes walk for an abled person, i tried and it was an hour 💀... I still live at my parent's house (minor 💔) and i can't spend the next who knows many years trapped. I was disabled before so im used to this but surely this isn't it? Im thinking of an Eletric scooter? but im not even sure if they'd help with the levels of hills (on avg 70degrees probably). I would like something i can take with me on the bus and i can't use a bike yet because the interim leg doesn't allow for good knee movement. Does anyone have any advice?

sorry for the erraticism im losing my mind + its 11pm, have a good night/morning.
