being an age constant alter/headmate is so fucking funny. it's always like you're in that scene in twilight where Bella is like "how old are you" and Edward says "seventeen" and Bella's like "...how long have you been seventeen??"
“Your labs are astonishingly clear and you are all good. It’s just acid reflux, and we will send you home”
After 7 hours of waiting. Throwing up, passing out, IN THE ER, they just said I’m fine and my diagnosis was acid reflux.
I’ve been having tummy problems for weeks. WEEKS. I know if I go to a doctor there will be “nothing wrong” but nothing is working. Stomach acid so bad that I throw up almost immediately after eating. I just started Prilosec, but Tagamet hasn’t been working, and bread has stopped working too. I don’t even know what to do. I’ve been up nights and nights in a row unable to sleep because of the acid. Bad sleep after bad sleep. And I continue to eat acidity foods. I can’t stop. I just want a supplement so I CAN eat these comfort foods.
I can’t not eat my comfort foods, anything but them and I’ll explode. But my comfort foods are ALL acidity.

@cherry-cove , Epithet Erased is a webshow! The first 7 episodes are free on Youtube, and the sequel book, Prison of Plastic, is available as an audiobook on soundbooth theatre.
reminder for people that aspec people, no matter if they’re aroace, aromantic with a sexuality, or asexual with romantic attraction, they are VALID AS SHIT.
i myself am a greyaromantic demisexual trans guy, i’ve often said i’m aroace for simplicity because i fit onto those spectrums. if i hear one more stupid fucking thing about how “aromantics are basically cishet” or “asexuals don’t get hatecrimed so they’re not in the community” i’m going to lose my shit.
a) aspec people *do* get judged and even hatecrimed for their identity. amatonormativity and allonormativity are massive and infuriating. people have in fact r*ped and attacked people for not fitting into the boxes they want, in attempts to force them to be “normal”.
b) not all of the community is about being ostracised. it’s about striving to be seen as equal. shoving out people who are a valid part of this community because you don’t think their identity is real is bullshit.
to my fellow aspecs, no matter any other identities you may have, i love you /p
I struggle with the same thing friend, I feel the same pains that’s basically what’s happening to me. The cold is so bad too I’m sorry D:
that happened to me except the school told me to put my cane away and said if I used it again they’d seize it. They said because it’s not prescribed they could write me up for carrying a possible weapon.
This ableism in schools is fucking awful, and doctors need to start taking teenagers with pain more seriously. I’ll be an adult soon, hopefully I can get help with my pain. I hope that you’ll get the help you need too, I’m sorry that happened to you. :(( your pain is so real, and so valid. I promise you
When a chronically ill or disabled person gets their lab tests back as “normal” or all clear, we aren’t sad because we WANT to be sick.
We’re sad because we *know* there’s something wrong with us, yet the scans still stay clear.
Before you kill the monster you gotta know its name.
Today my bearded dragon was taken from the world, she was a little over a year old. I got the phone call right before work about how she was gone. I’d like to share some photos of her before she got sick, here’s Grianna, who was originally named Grian before she started laying eggs, she was a snuggler and loved being around people. She loved watching me play stardew valley and she loved her soaks (baths)
Ableist: “I don’t believe you. It’s not normal to struggle with that.”
Disabled Person: “I struggle with this because of a disability.”
Ableist: “I don’t believe you. Unless you’ve been diagnosed, you don’t have a disability.”
Disabled Person: “I struggle with this because of a diagnosed disability.”
Ableist: “I don’t believe you. You’re high functioning. Disabilities are overdiagnosed. You’re nothing like those low functioning people who actually struggle.”
