Hello from Virginia!

Hi everyone! My name is Matthew and I'm a 21 year old college student majoring in English w/Creative Writing. My LDR is unique in that my girlfriend and I met at our university; however, due to her health she more or less housebound. She has Crohn’s Disease, ADHD, a learning disability, and a severe anxiety disorder. I’m legally blind (I have 10º of vision in my left eye and 15º in my right) and I have cerebral palsy. We haven’t been able to see each other in six months and sadly, we’ve recently hit a major rough patch, but we’re still hanging in there and just as in love as were from the start. Can anyone offer any advice for the rough patches that might come up or as anyone been in a similar situation that has worked out?

Hi Matthew and welcome you to the site! I have a very special person in my life who also has CP and is legally blind I don't really have any advice right now but I do hope you like the site!

Welcome to LFAD

there are some members who are in a similar situation/have health conditions that make their LDRs a little more of a hurdle. Hopefully as you become part of the community you'll learn who those people are and they'll be able to share their experiences/advice - I don't feel it's my place to tell you who they are though
