if you are able bodied i will answer any Disability Question you may have no matter how ignorant for an up front payment of $20 deposited in my paypal. otherwise don’t bother asking

[crpl-pnk]

it’s funny how every day i get intrusive questions about disability from abled people who expect me to provide free (sometimes ludacrisly personal) information but the minute i ask to be compensated for my time & effort y'all are mysteriously silent

People aren’t textbooks. Our traits and symptoms aren’t going to fit exactly the textbook definitions thrown at us by doctors or pasted online on webmd. We are all different and we are all valid.

Have you eaten?

If not, try to fix yourself something. Remember, it doesn’t have to be a whole meal, but it is important that you eat if you need to.

If there’s anything more pernicious than the notion that one ought to be ennobled by one’s suffering, it’s the notion that not being ennobled by one’s suffering represents a personal moral deficit.

Like, okay, my horrible trauma unaccountably failed to transfigure me into a saint, and somehow that’s my fault?

Stop being a victim. Use your experience to learn and grow and perhaps help others. Use it to strengthen yourself and better read situations, understand things around you. Don’t fall into a blubbering mass of self pity and depression. Rise.

[prokopetz]

I honestly can’t tell if this response is meant to be ironic or not. It’s such a Platonically perfect example of the exact species of victim-blaming horseshit I’m talking about that I find it difficult to credit that any real person could be so lacking in basic self-awareness.

Mentally Ill Person: *talks honestly about how trauma and mental illness don’t magically make you a better person, expresses frustration at the expectation that they need to somehow become a saint just because they were hurt*

Neurotypical people: Have you tried becoming a better person though
