If you got a GED/dropped out of school (or homeschooled) due to disabilities, please like or reblog.

I want to see how many people aren’t getting the help/support they need from the educational system, thanks.

[bubonickitten]

love how sometimes i’m like “oh, i should put this somewhere safe so i don’t lose it and know exactly where to find it later!” and about a month later i’m standing in my ransacked room trying to get into past me’s mindset like some kinda amateur historian on one of those history channel treasure hunting shows trying to get into the mind of a nineteenth century pirate to figure out where they hid some possibly nonexistent apocryphal loot

having memory problems is like being an archaeologist of your own life and it isn’t nearly as exciting as it sounds

Me: please, I beg of you, just let me do this one task, if we just get to work it will only take 10 minutes tops—

ADHD goblin in my brain:

[thatadhdfeel]

tadhdfw you hate the “ooh! a squirrel!” stereotype of adhd but you have literally interrupted yourself while speaking to point out butterflies, cool clouds, flowers, or dogs on a daily basis before

I’m so tired of trans people having to be experts at fucking everything from a VERY young age (medicine, feminism, sociology, history…) In order to justify our existence to cis people.

[lluminame]

Like it is so unfair because I feel that I have to know every fucking argument used against the trans community and be able to disprove it because every single cis person that has known I’m trans, most of them adults way older than me, in or outside of lgtb “safe spaces”, feels the need to use me as if I were the Google Search engine. They literally will ask you a hundred questions, make you validate their bullshit opinions and then judge the whole community based on what you answer and if you coddle them enough or not. Everytime, it feels like taking an exam but 100% worse because you know if you are ‘mean’ or ignorant, they will blame all trans people… Lol

We forgot about it

(Related) Fun fact! ADHD has the tendency to dropkick most things (Including exam answers) into your short term memory, while nondescript things, like how you found a cool leaf on the 12th of September 2004 (because that’s important) get filtered into long term. Short-term memory is held for as little as 20 seconds to a minute. That means when you add in the processing gap, you may have forgotten what they have said by the time the information is done processing. So most people with ADHD have some form of short term memory problems.

TL;DR if you have a mixture of anxiety/depression and ADHD (as they tend to be linked) your memory is fucked!!

to everyone who’s first experience being touched sexually was abuse or r*pe: that was not your virginity. your virginity is something you give consensually and something that is your choice. it is not something that can be stolen, only given by choice.

ok to reblog

[annanova]

Thank you

[emeraldmercury]

I’ve never seen a post like this on Tumblr thanks OP.

Thank you for this OP

virginity is “lost” through sex. rape isn’t sex, just a particularly perverse form of torture

[birb-is-the-verb]

Me @ my 2 brain cells: why can’t you guys make serotonin

My 2 brain cells:

[sunflowerinc]

Me: what I went through wasn’t that bad, I’m pretty sure it can’t even be considered traumatic

Me: *has a vivid nightmare in which I relive the situation*

Me: *wakes up feeling disoriented & exhausted, as if I just came out of battle with my subconscious*

Me:

[yafavblogger]

Two things I hate that people say to other people that been through really traumatic events in their life:

1) You survived and your stronger because of it.

Why did I need this to be stronger? I survived but at what cost?

2) Pray for the person who hurt you.

It will be the coldest day in hell before I ever do that.

[bubblegum-pwussay]

The 1st one really pisses me off! People love saying that hardships make u a better person and it doesnt its a fucking lie all it does is give plenty of people mental illness issues. I remember watching this talk show and the guy said he was bullied growing up and thats why he couldnt hold down a job for long because he was basically afraid of people at that point.

[ohnosbros]

Also please stop with the “trauma builds charector” narrative. It doesnt help the victim. It only helps yourself to feel better about the victims abuse. Not everyone has to have something beautiful come out of their abuse. Abuse is by nature, ugly and grotesque. Stop with the beautiful abuse victim narrative or that something good came out of abuse other than the victim surviving it.

And stop with the “pray for them” narrative. victims do not owe their abusers anything. Praying does nothing for the victim and the abuser cant care any less about your prayers. It should never be the victim who should care about the well being of the abuser. That is totally backwards. Just admit some people are irredeemably shitty and dont deserve forgiveness or sympathy.

I think that one of the biggest problems with ableism in America is the sinister “good samaritan” disguise it takes.

So much of the ableism we can observe comes from “good intentions”:

- trying to spot “fake” service dogs

- leaving passive aggressive notes on cars that people think shouldn’t be parked in disabled parking spots

- the entire mess that is the assisted suicide movement

- posting “inspirational” photos, videos, and stories about disabled people without their express permission

- using terms like “special needs” and “differently abled”

- trying to cure conditions that are not inherently harmful/fatal like autism or adhd

- overriding the autonomy of disabled people

The arguments I see for these always come from people who refuse to believe they are perpetuating ableism. They insist that they are trying to help disabled people and that these things are “for their own good”.

But they just perpetuate stereotypes and existing power structures already stacked against us.

Listen to disabled people on disabled issues first and foremost. Neurotypical and able-bodied people cannot be seen as the authority on a community they are not apart of.

executive dysfunction is so weird because I’m sitting here and I can quite easily switch between tasks as long as they’re all on my laptop but it took a lot of effort to get my notebook out of my bag which is right next to the chair I’m sitting in

[metapianycist]

it’s taking a lot of effort for me to motivate myself to adjust my pajamas, while reading my phone in bed right now. even though I’m minorly uncomfortable with how my pajama bottoms are bunched up. i can switch apps on my phone but apparently not set it down for ten seconds in order to fix my clothes? executive dysfunction is wild

wheres all the support for the emotional abuse victims

[vcigar2]

no, seriously. victims of emotional abuse have it hard because they do not have the physical marks or the records to “prove” to someone they were hurt and are hurting. most people will not take emotional abuse as seriously as physical abuse, saying “you should get over it” or “sticks and stones”. thats fucking bullshit.

emotional abuse victims who have been forced to do or say or be things you never wanted to, i love you.

emotional abuse victims who have been gaslighted and manipulated to the point where you no longer know what is real, i care for you.

emotional abuse victims who are told they will never be loved by anyone else and they are not a good person, you are amazing.

emotional abuse victims who feel manipulative and often catch themselves mirroring actions of their abusers and feel sick to their stomachs because theyre “turning into them”, you are not them and never will be. you are so much better than that.

emotional abuse victims who have to live every day suffering because nobody understands how messed up you are from what they said or did or made you do, you arent alone.

anyone who reads this, i care for you. please support all victims of abuse every single day because they deserve it just like they deserve the love and care those in the past have failed to provide them
