I'm @coffeecupcreacher and this is my disability blog! Call me Cai (pronounced kay) or Creacher ♡

This is where I blog about my experiences with disability! I have moderate-severe cfs/me, clinical depression, suspected autism and a rare bowel disorder called slow transit colon (also known as neuronal intestinal dysplasia, similar to hirschprung's disease). I'm always up to chat with other folks with similar conditions! ♡

how it genuinely feels

Relying on a disability pension doesn’t mean you’re any less of a person btw. Your value is not determined by your ability to work full-time.

Sometimes with abled people, I talk about how my disability has the secret benefit of forcing me to slow down and really appreciate the connections I make with other people and with the people who live in my community. Its one of those "oh so thats how we survive" realizations that keep you going.

Holds you by the shoulders. You are not jealous of disabled people with higher support needs. You are jealous of disabled people with better families and higher class status. Do noooot conflate the two.

people dont get how exhausting it is to have so many different conditions. especially when theyre so heavily misunderstood and demonized in media. because even when people have heard of your conditions you still have to explain it to them & constantly correct them on shit the media gets wrong. & then you have to do it over again with the next condition. and the next. forever and ever until you die

"Trans people deserve rights and bodily autonomy because they aren't mentally ill-" hey but what if mentally ill people deserve rights and bodily autonomy too have you considered that because you should

Drinking soda is better than drinking nothing all day. Eating ice cream for dinner is better than eating nothing for dinner. Eating salsa is better than having no produce in your diet at all.

Water is way more hydrating than soda, but soda is more hydrating than nothing. A balanced meal is way more nutritious than ice cream, but ice cream is more nutritious than nothing.

Something is better than nothing. Some hydration is better than no hydration. Some nutrients are better than no nutrients. Some produce is better than no produce.

Don't let societally imposed food guilt trick you into believing that nothing is a better choice. Nourishing your body, however you can, is always the better choice. Fed is best. Always.

There needs to be more Type 1 Diabetes representation in media.

I want to see characters with insulin pumps. Characters who do shots. Characters who have sensors. Characters who test their blood sugar manually.

I want to see characters dosing before a meal or snack. I want to see characters checking their blood sugar. I want to see characters deal with high or low blood sugar.

I want to see characters with type one diabetes in a variety of settings. The diabetic ruler or monarch. The diabetic detective. The diabetic magician or mage. The diabetic spaceship pilot.

There needs to be more Type 1 Diabetes representation in media.

pop health science is so annoying bc it'll be like "did you know? eating strawberries will give you mega cancer" and you're like pfft whatever begone influencer. but sometimes then you'll see a reasonably credible article like "Study Shows Possible Link Between Strawberries and Mega Cancer" and you're not usually the type to follow that kind of thing religiously but idk maybe you should consider not eating strawberries? but then there's another article saying "Strawberry/Mega Cancer Study Debunked" and it turns out the original study had a sample size of 3 and was funded by Big Blueberry, and strawberries may have a small connection to mega cancer but only if you are genetically predisposed to mega cancer and eat 50 strawberries every day. so you return to your strawberry eating life. but whenever you eat strawberries in public someone tells you about the mega cancer.

Recently switched to Clip Studio Paint and I drew some Rocky’s for practice.

some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

This disability pride month remember to include and not separate yourself from disabled people with higher support needs.

I need physical help for all self care and showering, I use adaptive cutlery or else I can’t feed myself, I’m also both bladder and bowel incontinent and will be wearing adult pull ups soon.

No I’m not babyish or gross for needing physical help, I have ataxia spastic triplegia and left sided weakness, this makes fine motor skills very difficult and also makes it so my bladder and bowel muscles are weakened.

If you also have higher needs just know you aren’t alone🫂

Being disabled sometimes puts you in a weird spot because people will use your strength and resilience AGAINST you.
