im not ok. im exhausted.

7 years.

7 years since I decided to end my addiction.

7 years since I took a drug that wasn't medically prescribed.

7 years.

Addiction isn't talked about in ways I am comfortable with.

Stigma is still there.

Blame on the person is still there.

Addiction is complex and has reasons behind it.

I had little support when I quit. Every rehab I tried rejected me for one reason or another.

Every psychologist said they couldn't work with me.

I did this on my own.

If I didn't have the support I have now, I'd probably have gone back to it.

If I didn't get myself out of an abusive relationship, I'd probably still be addicted.

If I hadn't got out of the cult, I likely wouldn't be here now.

Pain and loneliness kept me addicted. I have days where it's really hard to get through, but I cope better now.

I'm often still lonely. I still live in constant pain, physically, mentally, emotionally.

I still can't find the help I need.

But I keep going. 7 years and I keep going.

We need to take the stigma out of addiction. We need to talk about it in ways that doesn't place blame on the person, because we don't get addicted in a vacuum.

I'm proud of who I've become and who I'm becoming.

I'm still learning who I am and what I want.

7 years is a long time, but the work on recovery continues for me every day.

7 years.

(Tw for a VERY brief mention of infantilization)

I want to talk about interacting with AAC users in person, specifically for speaking people.

1. Being an AAC user, I get left behind during conversations a lot because it takes me longer to add in my statement. By the time I'm done, the topic has oftentimes changed and then what I want to say isnt relevant anymore, and sometimes wont even be understood because to everyone else what I just said was out of place and random. This feels really frustrating and sometimes isolating, as well as embarrassing. Please wait for us, we want to converse too.

2. Sometimes when I am not yet done responding, people will watch me and try to guess what I'm going to say. If all I've got down so far is "I already", people might go "I already.. know!" "I already.. saw!" etc. Please stop doing that. Even if you got the idea correct, you might use the wrong words, which frustrates me. And even if you say it all correctly it's still frustrating, imagine if someone tried to guess what you were saying by interrupting you every time you started to talk. It's annoying.

3. Dont comment on what in our folders. If I open a folder to get to another word, and whilst doing that you see a different word in it that's funny or inappropriate or whatever, keep it to yourself. Its annoying. You have acsess to those words, and it isnt treated as weird, so why is it for me?

4. Don't infantilize us. We aren't perpetually children. We are our age. Treat us as if we are a speaking person of our age.

Where are all the "slow" kids, the challenged kids, the burnouts from birth, the burden to have in class? Where are the autists who can't mask, who self harm, who are loud and can't stop stimming? The NDs with processing disorders, brain damage, brain fog? The ones with down syndrome, FAS, and other conditions that people treat like curses or defects. I hardly ever see them past 18 and I know they don't just dissolve once they become adults.

[archerjay2019]

it's a scam

[archerjay2019]

You told me I was too loud

so I shut that inside

You told me I moved too much

so I trapped my body inside

You told me I was too much

You told me I couldn't

because my body wouldn't be safe

and I stayed so closed inside me

I no longer existed

I cut pieces of myself off and

swallowed them whole

hiding them inside

my inner castle

only to come play when I was alone

and I lost myself

I no longer recognise the faces in the mirror

I no longer recognise who I became

a stranger to myself

He told me I could

he told me to try

and I did

with you gone

I slowly attach the pieces of me

stitched carefully and slowly

back onto my soul

scarred bruised

painfully

but they're me

I recover

and slowly

I start to recognise myself

loud

moving

taking up space

and it's ok

because that is me

I should take up all the space

because the world needs to see

I am here

I exist

I am worthwhile
