Person: "What's the matter with you?"

Me: "Nothing, I'm fine"

Person: "Seriously what's wrong?"

Me: " oh y'know, my body just hates me"

Person: "....oh"

This may be the most true thing I’ve ever seen. To anybody who’s ever been told they’re too sensitive, I say that your strengths actually come from a societally-perceived weakness. Here’s to the criers, the laughers, the smilers, the learners, the empathizers, and all of the other ones who constantly put themselves out on the line.

How We Treat Mental Illness Vs. How We Treat Physical Illness

[memewhore]

God, seriously.

also, i like these weird character designs.

[just-call-me-ella]

Hi! Actually the problem with these posts, as well intentioned as they are, is that they dont actually mention that people with chronic physical illnesses are treated EXACTLY LIKE THIS. So actually..mental illnesses are treated like physical illnesses. Myself and all of my sick friends have heard versions of all of these before, and much worse.

I’m so worried that the photo post is so long people will read it and skip the comments so it bears repeating, PHYSICAL ILLNESSES ARE TREATED EXACTLY LIKE THIS TOO!

Neuroqueer Nidoqueen: “The tiny number of people actually faking disabilities is nothing compared to the number of disabled people faking not being disabled.”

Yet the disabled people who give in to societal pressure to hide their disabilities are the ones who most often get accused of faking, when they no longer can or desire to pass and begin to let their disabilities show.

I just wanna randomly applaud in front of my screen for this. This is what I’ve been telling people but the wording is so much better here.

this is me

As a disabled person, I don’t like that my life is viewed as a constant reminder to non-disabled people that it could always be worse, and I don’t like that I’m considered inspirational simply for living the life I’ve been given. Disabled people don’t exist to inspire non-disabled people or to remind them that there are no excuses in life, or that life could always be worse. We did not ask to be feel-good story on the 5 o’clock news when we go to football games, get asked to prom, or graduate high school. Those are just normal teenage things and it shouldn’t be any more inspiring because you do them sitting in a wheelchair or with some other disability.

if you ever feel bad about yourself just remember that if you were a fictional character people would probably love you for all your flaws and quirks and mannerisms that you probably hate so just remember that okay ilu

[farawaystardust]

why is this literally the most uplifting post I’ve seen in weeks thank you

[haveneverfailedtofeel]

People with chronic illnesses go through a tremendous amount of physical and emotional pain. So please, before you say “it can’t be that bad” or “you’ll be fine” or “try this and that” or “its all in your head” know that we have to live with this pain every single day for the rest of our lives and by saying this you’re just making it harder for us. You’ll never know how it feels to be in our bodies, so stop acting like you know what’s best for us.

things abled people think of when they hear ‘accessibility’:

- ramps! for wheelchairs! and… stalls! for wheelchairs! - braille! on the signs! - that’s it that’s the end

things disabled people need:

- easily accessible seating - air conditioned buildings - water access - food inside dietary restrictions - quiet places - seated or nonexistent lines - easy exit - and much, much more

(feel free to add your own)

Re-blogging ‘cause I think everyone could use this at one point in there life or another.

[its-a-scary-scary-world-deactiv]

As someone who did this for 6 months when I was living in halls, I agree with this statement. Honestly if there is something or someone causing you to lock yourself away find someone to talk to, get help and don’t give into it.
