If nobody has told you yet, or this year, or even this day, I want you to know that what you can do is enough.

If all you can do is an hour or two of school/work, that's enough. If all you can do is go to medical appointments, that's enough. If all you can do is tidy up your room, that's enough. If all you can do is take a shower, that's enough. If all you can do is your hobbies/things that make you happy, that's enough.

If you can't do any of that, and have to lie in bed most days, or every day, and other people take care of you, you're living despite a world that is so hostile, you are suffering so much and still living. You are doing enough.

You don't owe anyone productivity. You don't need to have a job, go to school, or write or draw, or do anything else in order to have inherent worth and value. You deserve to be taken care of. You deserve to be loved. No matter what you can or can't do.

I was talking to my mom about mobility aids and also said that I am going to buy compression socks/gloves and she got SO mad, she told me those things are for old people and that I'm not going to use any of those things, even if I pay for them myself, all because "you're only 19, you DON'T need them!!" I'm so tired

God, most days I can take it. I can swallow the pain and grit my teeth through the nausea and smile through the aching. I can find ways to convince myself that this life of mine is good good good. But some days I wake up after a night of not sleeping and I cry into my hard boiled eggs. Some days the pain in my shoulder means the world is going to end and the stiffness in my back heralds a sinkhole that swallows me whole. Some days I can’t take the fact that I’m still sitting in this house while everyone else keeps moving moving moving.

Some days it all comes crashing down, and I wonder if I was ever able to withstand it at all.

my mom works in healthcare & was telling me today about a client who doesn’t have access to help right now because her mother is upset with her & refuses to assist her with what she needs. thanks to my mom’s company, an employed caregiver is able to help her, but otherwise she’d be fucked over.

it makes me so sad that we have to live in a world where, if someone is upset with you or simply doesn’t feel like helping, disabled people will have to go without the assistance they need. i want to live in a world where all disabled people to have access to help, all the time, no matter what. no strings attached care is a human right & i wish able bodied people would see that & act on it.

#my mom just kinda laughed the situation off like well i’ll go help her later since her mom won’t #but like!! do u not see how big of a problem this is!!!!!! #disability #disabled #chronic pain #chronic fatigue #0

NPD + Chronic fatigue culture is being too tired to draw most of the time, but when I do, I always draw self portraits. What else would be worth my energy?

Invisible illness is still an illness!!!

Chronic pain that you can push through 99% of the time is still chronic pain!!!

Chronic illness means that sometimes you have to rain check with your friends because you can't control when it gets bad.

Don't push yourself, its ok to not be ok.

casual dating with chronic illness feels impossible sometimes. having to explain why i can’t go out to dinner, go hiking, or even get in a stupid hot tub. i can’t go to farmers markets on the weekends or go to concerts and genuinely enjoy myself without worrying about passing out. “nice to meet you! i like to lay horizontally and if i stand for too long i’ll faint. want to sleep together?”

i made a thing to encourage people like me who struggle with basic daily self care

the idea is that coloring in the little hearts with your favorite colors will be a nice treat for your brain to remember and do stuff!!!

i hope it helps anyone out there

For fucks sake

My geography teacher has this game that she likes to play when we finish the day's revision topic(we finished the course in Jan). It's would you rather. But you have to sit or stand up for your answer. This has resulted in several near fainting episodes and triggered a 2 week flare up. Today, 1 of the lads asked if we could just stick our hands up. In that moment I would have done anything for that fucker despite his previous shitiness. She told him to stop being so fucking lazy. JUST STOP CAUSING FLARE UPS PLEASE!!! I AM BEGGING YOU!!!

Every day I wake up like "I don't feel good :(" and honestly I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired!!! It feels like I'm in a never ending flare up. This one has lasted so long! I just want a little relief. To have one day where I don't wake up with a pounding headache. Or joints that feel stiff and achy. Or one day where I wake up feeling rested. One day where I don't wake up already in pain. Just one!! I'll take whatever I can get.

I feel stuck in that cycle where it's so hard to do the things that I know will make me feel a little better. But I feel too fatigued and like trash to do anything. But I know doing the things will help, but I can't find it in me to start. I know I need to prioritize these things, but it takes so much energy that I'm already so low on. :( Putting all of this into words is so hard. I'm so tired.

I say we start treating able-bodied people the way they treat someone chronically ill

"oh? you got ran over by a car so you can't do the groceries? but did you try hard enough? like if you wanted to you could, you're just being lazy. the same happened to my cousin's boyfriend's dad's friend and he's okay, stop with all the exaggeration!! it was just a car, there's people who got ran over by a bus, don't be selfish. did you try doing yoga yet? also, this special herbal tea I saw on facebook will totally cure you"

Shout out to the ten year old who just got diagnosed. Shout out to the housebound fourteen year old. Shout out to the eighteen year old who can’t go to the university they wanted. Shout out to the twenty two year old who can’t get a job. Shout out to the twenty six year old with a caretaker. Shout out to the thirty year old who can’t buy their own house.

Shout out to young disabled people. We exist.
