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

Being asked to rate your pain on a scale as someone who has had chronic pain for several years is so difficult. Like how am I supposed to rate the pain I am experiencing from 1-10 when I have no idea what it feels like to not be in pain. Like what is 0? what is 1?? what is even 10???? What am I comparing it to???? My 5 can be someone else's 10 and their 10 can be someone else's 2, and how is a doctor or anyone else for that matter supposed to tell the difference? Maybe it's because I'm autistic and I'm just overthinking it but it literally makes no sense to me.

tales from a wheelchair users recent nightmarish encounter with a bus driver;

i was omw home from being in town, we kind of live on the countryside of our area so i took the bus. first of all, the horror in the bus drivers eyes when he realised that i, a wheelchair user, was going to ride on the bus was at first comedic to witness.

he struggled to get the lift out at first but it didn’t take too long thankfully, so i thought that it was gonna be a smooth trip but oh oh i was so wrong.

he asked me where i was getting off and i told him my bus stop, and yet, as we get close to my stop he simply just drives past it. despite me telling him where to stop and help me off, despite me pressing the disabled stop button, despite me waving to him and calling him.

and he drives past the next two stops as well, despite me doing the same as above, again.

i eventually had to turn around to the closest passenger and ask them to go up to him to get him to realise that he just ignored me for three stops and to help me off.

he finally came to help and started struggling with the lift, bouncing me like 1 meter up in the air. he finally figured out where the down button is (there are two buttons, up and down, wtf.) and i start to wheel off the platform, except he didn’t let me off completely before pressing the up button again & almost tipped the wheelchair backwards with me in it due to me still having my front wheels on the lift.

i tell him that he was supposed to help me three stops ago, and all he had to say was “oops i’m sorry”.

and then i had to drive (electric chair) 15-20 minutes home on a road with no side walks, amongst the cars going like 80km/h.

completely normal to fear for your life when riding the bus, right? (sarcasm)

it is genuinely impossible for me to believe that the base level of pain for ableds is none. HOW. like i get not having pain like laying and shit even tho i never have experienced that, but how does walking not always hurt. ur bones r moving. theyve gotta be rubbing something painfully.

i read and follow the same hashtags every single day here. the day i joined c punk community? i was blessed. it's SO comforting to know i'm not alone in this, to know there are so many people like me. i love reading your posts, seeing your selfies with your mobility aids, just witnessing you being here.

so if you make posts about cpunk, disabilities and mobility aids, you directly help me feel better every day.

i remember being ten years old and wishing to die rather than experience the pain i was in yet still my parents and my doctors didn’t believe me. sometimes it just hits me. that wasn’t a normal experience for a ten year old, was it?

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.

Health update for those who care:

Had a hypomanic episode because I forgot to pick up my antispsychotics

Which led to me overdoing physical activity and therefore a BAD pain flare up that I’m still going through

I have received confirmation via MRI and ultrasound that my ankle has in fact been sprained for six years. My other ankle has considerable damage as well.

Several doctors have mentioned EDS (hypermobile and Classical) to me based on the type of ligament and tendon damage I have

I need to get injections in my ankles and then surgery on the bad one. At least there’s a solution!

Anyways hi I’m back!

I don't call myself a cripple to make fun of myself I call myself a cripple to make fun of able-bodied people's perceptions of me

This has been a PSA <33333

Guess who just found out I'm not disabled enough to qualify for a lightweight wheelchair through insurance 😃😃😃

I've cried so much today over other stuff and now I get that news 🙃🫠🤪

[nondivisable]

I'm disabled. and sometimes I find myself thinking ableist thoughts. you know what I do?

I stop. I don't say them. and later, I stop again and think. did this thought come from a place of genuine concern or was it just an automatic reaction I have ingrained?

and if it came from a place of genuine concern, how can I actually offer help or a solution without invalidating someone else's experience? if there's no answer to this question, I simply shut the fuck up

this system has yet to failed me

[crypt0cryptid]

Some might disagree but Greg house is to me the most realistic representation on what it’s like to try coping with chronic pain. Like everyone’s like why is he like that but when you have dealt with chronic pain everyday for years, also were mentally ill, you realize he had the most average reaction.

In all seriousness though yes he’s done bad stuff and treatment is important but it’s lit to see someone like me, not a “disability warrior” and is a wreck.

[chaos-and-ink]

I wish there was some kind of treatment. Anything to help. A medicine or a pill or a surgery or some kind of procedure. Anytime I go to the doctors or a specialist for my pain or my symptoms they just go 'well what do you expect me to do?' I've been told to take ibuprofen and shut up and stop bothering them. I'm losing hope.
