I want to talk about the sudden influx of posts on the #nonspeaking and #nonverbal tags being posted by speaking people, as well as my general thoughts on speaking people using those tags.

I've seen more speaking people who temporarily loose speech posting on these tags in the past few days. This is extremely frustrating to me as these tags are intended as a space for nonspeaking people to post. We as a community are already so incredibly silenced and alienated from the rest of the disabled community, and now that is happening within our own hashtags too.

I understand that some people lose their speech temporarily due to various factors, such as stress, but this does not necessarily make them part of the nonspeaking community. It's important to acknowledge that being nonspeaking is a unique experience and cannot be compared to short term loss of oral speech. When primarily speaking people use the nonspeaking and nonverbal hashtags, it can make it hard to find content that's relevant to us. It can also lead to the erasure of our voices and experiences.

Chronic pain can be like the ocean.

Some days it's nice and calm but some days it's rlly bad and not calm.

Help a disabled person get a mobility aid!

I don't need financial help. I just need advice. I have a fibromyalgia. Not professionally diagnosed, because of the classic 'you're too young!' stigma + medical trauma I have two points I want to make:

1: Should I get a cane or a crutch?

I have been researching each, but i truly don't know what is better!

2: How should I convince my mother?

My mother has only recently found out about my pains after I worked up enough courage to ask her. I feel that, if I bring this up, she'll brush it off, or tell me it's nothing. She has literally found out this morning.

And, yes, she is that type of mum.

i guess i should be using my cane.. i lost my knee brace & i tried my cane just now and it definitely took the pain away

but i guess i feel like im not supposed to use it? when i did people made fun of me, pitied me, threatened me, and i guess i just feel like i dont really need it since its for my knee instead of my hip now.

i dont want my family & peers saying “here we go again!” when i use it. i just want to move on from it.

when i used my cane before everyone was just so adamant on me not using it, my physiotherapist kinda rushed my recovery just to get me away from my cane because she thought it was “embarrassing” and “unnecessary” for someone my age to use one.

I need support right now from someone in the disabled community, hopefully someone who uses mobility aids of any kind (or has advice on helping me possibly find the right one for me) and/or has fibromyalgia and/or hypermobility. Please send me a DM whenever you’re able to, I was just diagnosed and I have so many questions and need some guidance right now — I’m a young teenager and was just diagnosed and even though I’ve been dealing with nearly non stop pain for over a year now I’ve never had more questions than right now and I need help.

Algea - A Sonnet

A poem I wrote about my experience with chronic illness. I hope you enjoy and have a nice day.

[Image ID: The text "Algea — A Sonnet. Ἄλγεα - the personification of pain // grief," over a background with a dark field with trees in the distance. The sonnet is written divided by stanza in several images. It is as follows:

perpetual as luminescent night

it permeates my body and my heart

for sweet relief, I long and yearn and fight

yet desolation rips my life apart.

oh, how I wish I could just convalesce

and spend my days without a single woe

yet, laying in my bed, I evanesce

as I'm rained down upon by bitter snow.

alas, my life I've spend in whitewashed rooms

and out of them, despondent, I emerge

machinery foretelling my own doom

and strangers, wearing labcoats, sing my dirge.

I cry, I beg, I wish on every star

the ephemeral echoes, hear my plea

oh, why am I so flawed? I've come so far

please take away this burning agony.

I fade into the iridescent sky

my shackles gone, I close my eyes and fly.

/End ID.]

rbs and replies very much appreciated<3!

I want to talk about something very specific: "No, I didn't just speak. Calm down and grow up."

It's incredibly frustrating when people accuse me of saying something with my mouth, even though all I did was make a noise.

Maybe they told me something suprising, so I open my mouth and make a "awoh-" noise. Their eyes widen, and they jump to conclusions, shouting, "I JUST HEARD YOU SAY 'what'!" or any other phrase they think they heard. They start making a big deal out of it. But here's the thing: I didn't speak. I made a noise, a sound that may have resembled speech to them, but it wasn't. It's frustrating because they assume that every sound I make is an attempt at spoken words, or that I "secretly can speak orally" and that this was me "messing up my act".

I CAN'T SPEAK ORALLY! I did not "mess up" anything!

"I JUST HEARD YOU SAY "what"!! I HEARD YOU SAY "what"!! YOU SPOKE! YOU SPOKE!"

"Hahah, I think I just heard you say something! Beat ya at your own game!"

"RAYMOND-- Did you just SPEAK??"

"YOU SPOKE, I HEARD YOU! Don't worry, I don't care, I won't tell anyone."

These are all actual quotes people have said to me. And one of these people was a grown adult.

It's like a hurricane of misunderstanding and frustration swirling around me. Suddenly, people start demanding explanations, throwing questions, and even chastising me for speaking when I never actually did. And no matter how much I try to explain that it was just a noise, not a coherent utterance, nobody believes me. It's very upsetting when nobody believes me, no matter how hard I try to explain the situation. The weight of their skepticism feels crushing.

DISABLED PEOPLE ARE NOT PRETENDING TO BE DISABLED. I genuinely can't use oral speech. I am genuinely nonspeaking. I want to make it clear that my inability to speak orally is not a choice or an act. It is a reality that I navigate every day.

Being physically disabled is absolutely hell while living in a non wheelchair accessible house, with family members who aren't the best with the topic.

We have spina bifida, and because of this we use a wheelchair. Its impossible to use it in our house, so my grandfather keeps it stored outside until we go into town, when he puts it into our van. We used to keep it in our own room, but that was difficult due to having a very small room. It has also been stored in our dining room corner, which was actually fine. But it was left outside again after our most recent day out.

We also have abnormalities/deformities with our legs and ankles, the tendons and leaders didn't form correctly and are basically just upside down. Which means we cannot stand normally, or walk - we have to be tiptoed or its straining and painful.

Alongside arthritis and the overall chronic pain from all of this.

We had a pretty bad fall yesterday night, and the entire left side of our body is messed up and bruised, left leg is completely unable to support getting around, left arm is weak and our wrist is most likely sprained.

We fall often, but usually when our family is awake, this was at night. While trying to make food, which included very hot water. Didn't spill it, thank fuck.

I'm hoping these kinds of situations can make our family take this more seriously and stop skipping our doctors appointments. They're our only transportation and they keep ignoring it.

We're completely stuck in bed unless we want to fucking crawl around, because saving up for crutches to use around the house has been impossible due to our mother borrowing our money.

I'm complaining, basically.
