I'm over 500lbs How can I overcome my fear of me not breaking chair or worrying about if something can hold my weight

One of the horrible parts is being so large is fear of accidents. And why aren't there larger chairs? I broke at least 2 back in the day. I needed to sit! My feet were a 10 pain wise.

Along the way in my transformation I discovered some thing that might help.

I got a bariatric walker (I called it wide-ass). It has a basket to carry stuff and has a seat. It allowed me to go out more as well as a great resting place when gardening. I wish I had gotten it sooner. So basically, bring your own seating!

My greatest memory was when when there was a fire alarm when I was getting chemo. We all evacuated on a cold winter day, bringing along our buddies, the IV stands. I grabbed my coat and walker on the way. I sat in toasty comfort while everyone else stood and froze.

I still have the walker but mostly use it for moving stuff back and forth from the garage. I hope this helps.
