when the debilitating disability actually does debilitating things :(

[phleb0tomist]

happy holidays to all the bedbound people, whether it’s your first year spending the holidays in bed or your tenth, whether you’re in pain or having an easier day, whether people come to visit you in bed or not, whether you’re feeling up or down, or angry or alienated. there are people out there just like you and people who understand.

girl who's died a thousand times and soon will die a thousand more: I think I'm starting to feel a bit better actually

[the-angry-acrobat]

chronic pain is kind of like your body screaming “I’m in pain” and you’re like “okay what’s wrong” and your body’s like “oh that part is actually a secret”

LMFAO

me when my disabilities disable me:

When the glass child gets ill, it doesn’t change their form. They may reflect the light for a moment, but will return to their invisibility in the blink of an eye.

Hey, if you’re not as mentally quick as you used to be because of your illness- that’s okay. If you’re can’t think as fast or handle as many tasks that’s okay. You aren’t stupid, you aren’t unintelligent, and you aren’t less worthy of love or respect. It’s okay that your brain won’t or can’t go back to how it used to be. It’s different now, but it’s okay.

“you have a headache from doing nothing all day??”

idk how to explain chronic migraines to you

[ayronaught]

At the stage of migraine where i would literally shove my head into the freezer and stick an icicle through my eye because it would probably make me feel better

[log6]

yeah as soon as I wake up no longer fatigued for the first time in my life I'll be set

[vamptits]

don't ever look up what your childhood friends are up to now!!!!!!!!!! like girl you're a nuclear safety engineer. i put on matching socks today. we played tag a thousand years ago.

[halberdbooks]

Yeah

This hits different with chronic illness. I’m trying my hardest to get my masters degree but I haven’t worked in a year and I’m running on fumes. My body continues to gain weight because I can’t exercise and I hate how ugly I’m starting to look. I’m unrecognisable and I’d hate it if anyone looked me up which is why I left social media.

[cheaphalloweencostume]

you all hate the position i sleep in because you haven’t advanced to my level and you’re jealous of my mental acuity and caustic wit as well as being extremely good at sleeping

Hyper mobile people knowing this is extremely comfy yet also knowing how bad it is for us

[faetheway]

Even chronically ill, a girl is still more capable to tend to her own needs than a healthy male. Mothers will still do chores for their sons and not their I’ll daughters. Society will give excuses to a man’s tardiness over a disabled woman’s circumstance.

[defectivegembrain]

babygirl I'm bothered by noises you wouldn't even hear

[defectivegembrain]

wrote this about sensory issues but people relating because of hallucinations or tinnitus or anything else I am shaking your hand in solidarity if you are comfortable with that

[evilwriter37]

A disabled person being forced to not use their mobility aid is not something to be proud of. A disabled person pushing themselves past their limits is not something to be proud of. Stop pushing disabled people with your “pride” of them, and shaming others when they stay within their body’s boundaries.

Pain is not something to be proud of.

[faetheway]

I’ve got a few weeks left until my dissertation is due, and I guess my chronic pain got jealous of the attention because now everything is flaring up all at once. Fml
