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

I was talking to a friend and found out this isn't normal for everyone to have so if you're one of the people who don't have an emergency hospital bag, this is your sign to start pulling one together. Hope you'll never need it but make it anyways because if you need it and you don't have one you'll kick yourself. It's designed so if you were suddenly rushed to hospital or had to go to A&E/ER then you or someone you know can just grab it and go. Trust me, it makes life so much easier when you have a bag in an allocated space that anyone can grab for you if you need it. All you need is a bag designed to be hand luggage on a plane. Everyone's is different and it's customisable to you but things I have in mine include:

A list of all my current medications and their dosages

A list of all diagnoses with the medications used for them noted since some medications have multiple uses

A list of any mobility or physical limitations due to disabilities or illnesses

A list of emergency contacts

A list of allergies and what happens when I come into contact with those allergens

My regular doctors and specialists information

A change of comfy clothes including two sets of underwear and socks

Pyjamas that are comfy enough to be in but not too revealing since it's a hospital

Dressing gown (if there's space - if not keep one close to the bag for convenience)

Wet wipes

Alcohol hand gel

Deodorant

Chewing gum

Travel sized toothpaste and toothbrush

Travel sized dry shampoo

Travel sized shampoo and conditioner

Travel sized shower gel

A small tube of hand cream

A small microfiber towel

A plastic bag to keep soiled clothes in

A book to read

A puzzle book with at least two pens/pencils

Headphones/ear plugs

A portable phone charger

Spare phone charger with plug

Small comfort items

Small stim items

An eye mask

A small fan

A bottle of water and some small snacks (no nuts!)

I really encourage everyone to build theirs and regularly check it and update it as needed. Even if you think you're the healthiest person in the world, you have no idea what tomorrow will bring and it's always better to be prepared than left floundering during an already stressful situation. Feel free to add on your own ideas for what people can put in theirs. My list is by no means complete and there's bound to be things I didn't think of

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"

I hate the look on able-bodied people's faces when you can't do a thing that you could do the day before. The look of disappointment, confusion, the "Oh but you could do it before. Are you SURE you can't do it?" Like yes, Brenda, I'm sure that I am in too much pain to function/move from my bed right now so going for a walk when I could move 50 feet yesterday without my cane IS too much.

Let's talk about the other symptoms of chronic pain disorders.

Let's talk about how during a flare up, my brain fog becomes so bad that I can't remember my own full name or date of birth.

Let's talk about how I often can't stand not just because my legs hurt, but because they're so weak and shaky they can't support my weight.

Let's talk about how debilitating fatigue can be, when I can't move a muscle because I'm so bone-weary tired. My pain is the main symptom of my chronic illness but there are others. There are so many others. And they all fucking suck to live with. So why am I not taken seriously when I talk about them?

I just got forearm crutches to use until I get smart crutches, and my wrist hurts from using them. Does anyone have advice on using them? (I am also gonna look up YouTube videos, so please don't suggest that)

I'm scared I've fucked my wrists up :(

One reason I still struggle so much with saying no to things, for the sake of my disability, is because there’s still so much uncertainty.

You ask me to go do something, and I say no, I can’t do that right now. But I still hesitate. I still feel so bad, and so guilty, because the truth is, I don’t know for sure I can’t do it. You’ve asked me what seems to be a simple question, but I’m here having an intense internal debate and battle with myself.

Because the real answer is that I just don’t know. Maybe I can do this thing. Maybe I’ll feel fine afterwards, or at least mostly okay. It sounds fun, and I’d like to, and maybe it would be worth it. But also maybe it would make me feel terrible. Maybe it will affect me in such a way that I can’t do this other thing I really need to do tomorrow. Maybe it wouldn’t be worth it at all.

But there’s no way for me to know for sure.
