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?”

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.

stop villanizing disabled people. stop assuming we're just being lazy. stop assuming we could be trying harder. stop assuming that we'll "feel better" in a few weeks. stop assuming that we have the same energy levels as everyone else. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

shoutout to every person who deals with incontinence. i dealt with bedwetting up until my early teens, and now deal with stress and urge incontinence and for years never wanted to talk about it because of the shame and stigma other people place on not being able to control your bladder or bowel movements.
incontinence is a disability. it's not gross or wrong to talk about incontinence. incontinent people are not dirty or disgusting. if we could control these parts of our body, we would. we're not an inconvenience for being this way, and we don't have to be treated like a burden or like we need to be "fixed".
whether or not you use incontinent products like briefs, pads, diapers, plastic bed sheets, or whatever else, you are loved, important, and deserved to be seen when there are conversations about disability awareness and acceptance. we don't deserve to hide in shame when all we need is to be accommodated and accepted.

my mom keeps trying to get me to go to the ER when im having a flare up and i have no idea what to tell her.
because ive BEEN to the ER before. you wanna know what they did? while i was sweating, shaking, and sobbing, curled in a ball of pain?
they asked me if i was on my period. when i told them no, they asked me if i was pregnant.
when i told them no, because i wasn't sexually active, they forcibly tested me anyways, and then when it came back negative said, "well maybe you should just take a few deep breaths", gave me liquid ibuprofen, and sent me home.
disabled people, in this particular situation disabled afabs, are never fucking listened to.
the ER staff literally LAUGHED at me multiple times. they pointed at me when i was having one of the worst episodes of my life and snickered.
so no, i do not want to go to the fucking ER. my heating pad, ice packs, and nausea meds are going to help me more than anything a hospital could do.

Accommodations are not special, they’re not a leg up, they’re not a benefit. They’re not putting anyone ahead in the race, nor are they taking anything away from others.
They exist to put us on a level playing ground to everyone else, and nothing more.

Using a mobility aid when you need one is an act of self love <3

Did you grow up as a disabled person and think "man, I am shit at being a human being. How does everyone do it?" and then think you were just lazy or less motivated and start believeing everyones comments about how you have no motivation and are genuinely just lazy and then you still wonder why you're not good enough no matter how hard you try and then you get old enough to realize that not everyone experiences the same thing you do and you were just given a short straw or are you normal?

I'm chronically ill. I'm disabled physically and mentally. I live a rough life from day to day. People always tell me how strong I am.
This may be with the best of intentions but in all honesty I'm not strong, I'm very weak from being broken down every single second of my life from my chronic illnesses.
I don't get to live my life, I'm surviving not thriving.

I wish more abled people understood the concept of A Good Day.
Like, sometimes, some disabled people aren’t in as much pain as they usually are.
Sometimes, i CAN walk without a limp. But i have to limp outside anyway or I’ll be accused of “faking it” if someone notices.
Like… it can fluctuate! Assuming it can’t is like being mad that it’s sunny one day and rainy the next and accusing the weather of being “attention seeking” or some shit! Fuck! Stop harassing disabled people for having a good day and wanting to make the most of it!
