thank you @chaoticsweetheart for letting me post this!
I know I need to hear this often ESPECIALLY during mental and physical flare ups so I figured I'd share this message here
Being disabled does NOT mean you are UNLOVABLE.
Being disabled does NOT make you UNWANTED.
Being disabled does NOT make you UNDESIRABLE.
Being disabled does NOT make you UNDESERVING.
Being disabled does NOT make you a BURDEN.
[Video Description: A tiktok by user chaoticsweetheart. She speaks to the camera in a darkened room. A text box in the middle of the screen reads, “Red X emoji, Do not give unsolicited medical advise. Red X emoji.” Captions are also provided in white writing at the top of the video. At the end of the video, the woman kisses her pointer and middle fingers, then brings them closer to the camera to simulate sending a kiss to the viewer. End description.]
Video Transcript
[The song “Repeat Until Death” by Novo Amor plays in the background throughout the video.]
I’m in so much physical pain right now, but I felt like I really needed to say this for myself and for other people: your disability DOES NOT make you unlovable.
And the people that hurt you, that get to go on with their lives and be happy and joyful, is NOT EVER a reflection on your worth.
And I know it’s SO hard to keep that in mind, and I know it’s so not fucking fair.
But, your disability does NOT make you unlovable.
It does NOT make you UNWANTED.
It does NOT make you UNDESIRABLE.
And it does NOT make you a BURDEN to anybody.
