i wanna say fuck you to anyone who shame disabled, chronically ill & neurodivergent people, especially homebound folks, for "spending too much time on their phone/on the internet/etc." when it's the only (Somewhat) accessible way for them to experience the world. many people don't get to get out much even if they want to because of their disabilities. shaming someone for trying to connect with the world, make friends and engage with hobbies in ways that are accessible to them is beyond cruel and unnecessary

abled people really act like if your illness or disability isn’t terminal then you’re not allowed to complain about it or grieve the life you thought you’d have and it’s so fucked up

Humans are social critters, we can't change that. I don't want us to.
The kindness, the humanity in sending a stranger a cat video because you know they're struggling. Telling someone they look good today just to get them to smile. To hold open the door for someone. Small little things.
I joke it's my "mitzvah of the day" when I do seemingly inconsequential things for others, but to be on the receiving end: it can make such a drastic change.
Be that little kindness in the world, even when the world itself is trying to snuff you out.

Here’s to hoping that every single person with schizophrenia or a schizoaffective disorder or DID or NPD or any other ridiculously demonized mental illnesses has a wonderful day

You should break up with me. Why are you here? Why are you here? Why are you here. I can't communicate. I hurt you. Why do you fucking throw yourself into the fire instead of running away?
You have to talk to me like a child, because, really, that's all I am, aren't I?
I don't want to run away

We're arguing. We're framing things differently.
I'm sorry I was taught unhealthy ways to view the world, to cope, to communicate. I didn't mean those words as an attack, to play dirty. To me it's just 1:1.

When I just started to tackle my ARFID but now because of my BPD I so violently want to self punish and starve myself to death

gentle reminder to those with EDs, allergies, or literally any condition that interacts with food, who are also trying to boycott for Palestine:
if not getting a certain brand means you wouldn’t eat, get the brand. if not getting a certain food means you wouldn’t eat, get the food. yes, even if there’s a boycott. do not let people guilt you into self-endangerment. in order to work, activism must be sustainable and must involve radical self-care. of course do your best to find other brands, but if it comes down to it, do not starve in the name of activism.

people on tumblr will literally post things like “you have to eat vegetables and expand your palate i dont care if you are a picky eater because of autism (if i can overcome it you can too)” and everybody will reblog it being like “yes this is true for everybody no matter what” and think its okay. like sorry but that wont work for everyone and there is no one size fits all and some people will never be able to eat these things no matter how hard they try. im only allowed by my doctors to eat recreationally and not for nutrition, because my ARFID is so severe that i get my nutrition solely from a specially made formula drink. your suggestions of “try vegetables roasted!” or “try them in soup!” and assurances of “i did it, you can too!” don’t work for those of us with more severe mental illnesses and disabilities. stop tying a person’s worth to their diet and stop assuming everybody has the ability to do what you can.

People judge picky eaters a lot but, as a very picky eater, I’m endlessly frustrated by my limitations. When I vent about this, a lot of people respond with things as “just eat it, it might not be so bad” but I mean it when I say a lot of suggestions I have already tried.
I watch a lot of food videos and they all look so good, a lot of food smells amazing, but then I try it and the texture is a sensory nightmare and there’s too much flavour. I love being autistic but, if I was to change one thing, it would be that.

things want make whole world understand about ARFID
not just emotion feelings like little bit nervous but like physical reactions physical hard . think about eat new foods make feel sick distress like need convince brain and body this is food in first place .
and new food can mean
food that really never try before in any form
familiar food done in new way , change recipe proportions or change how cook prepare but all pieces same
familiar food but pieces change , even if just 1 like sauce
familiar food but texture different , because prepare different or not ripe enough or too ripe , things like that
familiar food but look different , colour , sometimes with severe ARFID even just cut and shape
familiar food but smell or taste different , new flavour
anything that is not familiar food in very exactly same way every time basically
and new food take so much mental energy and work to try , can not just change new everyday or will burn right out and rely even harder on things that never seem change like stuff from boxes in store .
is why ARFID put risk for malnutrition and gut bowel problems , eat make so so so much stress and sometimes only thing can do is try fortify what do eat rather than try change add different .
